The coordinators of the anti-discrimination student movement have rejected Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's proposal to hold talks with the government saying that they have no plans to hold talks with the government.

Nahid Islam, one of the main coordinators of the anti-discrimination student movement, told it to the media on Saturday noon.

In response to this, coordinator Nahid Islam said that there is no chance to seek justice or sit in dialogue with the ‘murderous’ government. The time for apologies is over. When there was time, then the government arrested and tortured students with block raids. We will not enter into any kind of compromise by keeping the prisoners fellows in jail.

"When we were in the DB office, there was a plan to take us to the Prime Minister's office for talk," he said. “That plan did not succeed due to our hunger strike and street agitation.”

Another coordinator, Asif Mahmud, said, "When we were imprisoned in the DB office, we were asked to we met the Prime Minister and suspend the movement. There was even a plan to forcibly take us to Ganabhaban. We sat on hunger strike to protest this proposal and demand freedom. I am ready to pay the price of intransigence even if it means death. I am calling for the participation of every citizen of Bangladesh in the student-citizen uprising.”
