Adin Siddiqui, a resident of Burhanpur, was a topper in studies since childhood and wanted to become a doctor. He took admission for MBBS in Dhaka Center International Medical College, Bangladesh to study medicine. Everything went well for a few years and his studies went well, but recently the situation worsened in Bangladesh.
Opposition to reservation
Bangladeshi students started protests over reservation. The situation got so bad that all this was happening just 5 km away from his college. During this time, he was locked in a hostel with his friends for seven days. Food and drink facilities were available there and 50 to 60 protesting students also lost their lives. The situation got so bad that the government there had to call for the help of the police and the army. Seeing the worsening situation, mobile network and internet services were also stopped.
He could not even contact his family during this period. When he approached the Indian government, he was told to stay only in a hostel, but he got no assurance or help from the Indian government. Finally, exhausted, he decided to return to India with his companions. But this path was not so easy because the environment was bad and there was an atmosphere of fear. During this period 28 students came from Dhaka to the border by bus and during this they had to pay 3 times more fare. From Dhaka to Kolkata by bus and from Kolkata to Indore by flight and then from Indore by bus to Burhanpur.
Indian students are also trapped
Many more children who went to study from India are still stuck there and are studying in other colleges. The student said that the Government of India had also announced the number, but we did not get any response on it. You were told to stay in a hostel or come back to India if possible. The student said that it is our demand from the government that the Indian government should take the initiative to bring the remaining stranded children to India as soon as possible. Meanwhile, when he reached his home in Burhanpur, the family also breathed a sigh of relief. The family members have also appealed to the Indian government to take appropriate steps to ensure that the students stranded in Bangladesh reach their homes in India at the earliest.
