The speakers said that the mass uprising of students has awakened new dreams in people's minds. To make this dream a reality, the interim government will have to take some groundbreaking decisions at the right time.
They also said that the current government has taken on the responsibility of running the state as a result of the anti-discrimination student movement. As a result, it is the moral responsibility of this government to eliminate the existing discrimination in various fields. It is the expectation of the common people that the current government will maintain competence, efficiency, and impartiality in fulfilling this responsibility.
