Asif Mahmud, a coordinator of the anti-discrimination student movement and advisor to the interim government of Bangladesh, stated that while the Awami League has left, those with an "Awami mindset" still remain. Speaking at a discussion in Comilla, he emphasized that even if it takes a month for the Awami League to fully fall, their suppression will happen much sooner. He referred to 53 years of accumulated issues in the country and highlighted the challenges of resolving them quickly.
