Activism
editHasnat was one of the coordinator of a student movement; Anti-discrimination Students Movement, opposing quotas in government jobs, which evolved into a campaign to remove Hasina from power.[7] He along with Nahid Islam, Asif Mahmud, Sarjis Alam and others gained national recognition in mid-July 2024 when he and several other Dhaka University students were detained by police[8] as the protests became violent.[9][10]
In the aftermath, on August 5, Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina resigned and left the country.[11] Islam stated that their goals weren't fully met, and following Hasina's resignation, the group aimed to "abolish fascist systems forever".[12]
He and his organisation called Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus to lead an interim government.[13][14]
