Amid the Anti-Quota movement across the country, particularly in educational institutions, agitating students are chanting slogans, terming themselves as 'Rajakars,' a term to mean collaborators who aided Pakistani military forces during the war of independence in 1971.
A handwritten note is making rounds on social media platform Facebook in the backdrop of the student movement.
The note reads: "Dhaka University is my university, my dearly university. But I feel I will not want to go to the university anytime soon. Whenever I see the students, I will feel they may be those Rajakars.
I don't want to see any face of Rajakar in the last days I am alive. Life is only one; why should I have to see the face of Rajakars once again?"
When asked whether he had written the note, celebrated children's writer Professor Muhammed Zafar Iqbal confirmed he had written it and posted it on his personal website.
"Someone might have taken the note and made it viral," Professor Muhammed Zafar Iqbal told Bangladesh First.
