Paying deep respect to all the martyrs in the anti-discrimination student movement, he said, students have shown with their fingers, how to love the country, how to protest injustice and establish good governance.
This contribution of the students is spreading to the world today and is being seen by the world today. Those who do not have any organization, love the country and succeeded in the anti-discrimination movement, and handed over the responsibility of making the country beautiful. We who are involved in the governance of the state, need to rethink. What the new generation wants from us! A country to help, a country to serve and help all citizens as needed.
So government officials have to change and this change has to be us (government officials) ourselves. This must be so that no citizen comes to us for work and returns empty-handed. If we can’t entertain! But let’s talk to the servants with a smile. People from remote areas do not dare to sit in government office chairs or do not want to sit with respect. We often look down on them. It is the moral responsibility of all government officials to take care of such matters and serve them with respect. The new generation of students have pointed out these inequalities.
These must be changed. Chief advisor. Quoting Yunus, he said, all injustice and oppression must come out. Developed countries including Europe and America are not far away from today’s new generation. They are accessing government services in developed countries with the help of smart phones. So we have to build the country according to the expectations and consciousness of the students.
