Umama Fatima, the spokesperson of the platform and one of the leaders of the post-July coup, has officially announced her withdrawal from the 'Anti-Discrimination Student Movement'. She announced this decision in a post on her verified Facebook profile on Friday (June 27) night.
In the post, Umama said that she has officially withdrawn herself from the organization since the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement became a central council. She wrote that after the formation of the NCP, although she worked under the banner of the platform, she was forced to practically sever ties in the face of various pressures and conspiracies.
She alleged that the platform has been politically influenced, and online and offline campaigns have been conducted against those who wanted to work independently. She added, "I have seen from the inside how opportunists have eaten this platform like worms."
Umama said that she has been facing obstacles in performing her duties for a long time. At one point, a post was made against her from the platform's Facebook page. He said, “Even though I was a spokesperson, I did not get access to the page. Rather, it was used against me.”
He also said that he was disappointed by the limited number of voters, the exclusive participation of certain groups, and the political bias in the council elections. Although he cast a vote at the last minute, he later withdrew it.
At the end of the post, Umama said that he was withdrawing all support for the platform. In addition, he expressed concern about the future of the anti-discrimination student movement and said, “This platform has wasted the dreams and time of many people.”
Umama said that he currently wants to focus on the ‘Empowering Our Fighters’ project and science-based activities. He advised all students to focus on their studies, writing, “I am not breaking down, I am putting everything together.
