Speaking at the event, the speakers said that the ruins of Begum Rokeya's birthplace, the remains of her birth room, the arches of the mosque, and the family graveyard still stand as witnesses of time in the birthplace of the pioneer of women's awakening. Former Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia established the "Begum Rokeya Memorial Center" at her birthplace to implement Rokeya's ideals, which was created through a project under the supervision of the Bangla Academy. However, although subsequent governments came to power, the vision and mission goals of the project were not implemented. Later, following the demands of local inhabitants, the Bangla Academy adopted a development project.**

The speakers further stated that through this memorial center, plans included arranging multi-faceted training for the development of women nationwide, creating a modern digital library focused solely on women's writings, authors, and working processes, taking steps for research and implementation regarding folk culture materials scattered across remote areas of the country, bringing back Begum Rokeya's remains from India through a bilateral agreement to bury them at her birthplace, and developing a tourist center integrating the Rokeya Memorial Center, Rokeya's house as an archaeological artifact, the mosque, graveyard, and schools-colleges. Although 15 to 16 years have passed since the project was adopted, it has not been implemented.

The protesters said that the project is on the Planning Commission's green list. During the interim government, a 100-crore taka project was rumored to be implemented, but it never saw the light of day.

The speakers warned that if the "Begum Rokeya Memorial Center Renovation and Modernization" project is not implemented immediately, a larger movement will be launched from Pairaband.
