DUCSU victory as ‘victory of July generation’

Abu Shadik Kayem has described his sweeping win as a victory not for one panel, but for July generation and all students of Dhaka University.

“There is no victory or defeat in the DUCSU election, the outcome belonged to the ‘July generation.’

Shadik said while expressing reaction at a press conference at the university’s Senate Bhaban on Wednesday morning, shortly after the results were announced.

He said students had cast their votes freely for candidates they deemed deserving.

Expressing his commitment to fulfill his duties as VP, Shadik said, “We will fully realize the trust that Dhaka University students have placed in our panel.”

He further appealed for guidance and support in fulfilling the expectations of the student body.

”We do not want to hold processions or rallies. This is not a time for celebration but a test of whether we can protect the trust placed in us.”

In his remarks, Shadik paid tribute to those killed during last year’s July Uprising that toppled the Awami League government.
