Sarjis Alam, the chief organiser of the Jatiyo Nagorik Committee and a prominent leader of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, has recently married. The news was met with an outpouring of congratulations from friends, fellow activists, and well-wishers, including key figures in the interim government.
On Friday evening, Asif Mahmud Sajeeb Bhuiyan, the Youth and Sports Adviser, shared a congratulatory message on Facebook, posting a photo from the wedding. The image featured Sarjis Alam in traditional wedding attire, alongside Information and Broadcasting Adviser Nahid Islam, Adviser Mahfuj Alam, and Hasnat Abdullah, convener of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement.
In his post, Asif Mahmud Sajeeb Bhuiyan wrote, “Congratulations, Sarjis Bhai, on embarking on this new chapter of life. May your married life be filled with joy and happiness.”
Just eight minutes later, Hasnat Abdullah shared a similar picture, adding, “Congratulations, my friend Sarjis! May your life together be filled with love and cherished moments.”
A former student of BAF Shaheen College in Dhaka, Sarjis completed both his undergraduate and master’s degrees in zoology at Dhaka University. He was also elected to the Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (DUCSU) as a panel member representing Amar Ekushey Hall Students’ Union.
Renowned for his active role in student activism, Sarjis was a leading figure in last year’s July-August uprising.
