Filmmaker Kamar Ahmad Simon was part of the Long March programme on Monday. “Hasina’s tragic journey is one of immense personal sacrifice for the people but it culminated in a regime marked by kleptocracy and oligarchy,” he said. His son, Rishov Aditya (21), too has been part of the protests. He took to social media to quote Faiz Ahmed Fazi’s “Hum Dekhenge” immediately after the army takeover. “I tried to translate it Sunday night when all hope seemed lost. But today, it seems we can dare to hope again,” he posted.
