Former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's party Awami League in Bangladesh was scheduled to hold an event on Sunday. The program was to be organized to mark the Martyr's Day of party worker Noor Hussain, who was killed in 1990. However, even before the program started, protests against it started.
Demonstrators besieged the Awami League headquarters and Zero Point in Dhaka. Awami League organized a program on the death anniversary of Noor Hussain at Zero Point. The protesters included leaders and activists of the Student Movement, Bangladesh Nationalist Party, Jamaat-e-Islami and other political parties. Demonstrators took to the streets late Saturday night.
The system has deployed Bangladesh Border Guards in various parts of the country to maintain law and order.
The Yunus government called the Awami League a fascist party
Shafiqul Alam, the press secretary of the interim government's chief adviser, Mohammad Yunus, posted on Facebook about the protest. In this post, Alam wrote that Awami League is a fascist (fundamentalist) party.
Alam wrote that this fascist party will not be allowed to protest. Anyone who joins the opposition to Hasina's party will face government agencies. Alam said that the interim government will not allow any kind of violence or violation of law and order in the country.
Awami League asked to bring posters of Trump
Sheikh Hasina's Awami League party announced a program to mark the death anniversary of activist Noor Hussain, who was killed in the 1990 agitation against General Irshad. The party said it would gather at zero point in Dhaka.
During the event, Awami League asked everyone to bring a picture of the newly elected US President Donald Trump. In fact, the Awami League believes that the Biden government also played a role in ousting Sheikh Hasina from office.
The Awami League, in a statement issued on its Facebook page, said the protest rally would be held to root out dictatorial forces and restore democracy.
Opponents gathered at zero point.
The party's first program after Hasina left the country
After the student movement, Sheikh Hasina left the country and came to India on August 5. Since then he lives in India. This is the Awami League's first event since Hasina left the country, asking people to take to the streets.
Violent protests against Sheikh Hasina lasted for two months in Bangladesh. During this more than 700 people were killed. After Hasina left the country, Nobel laureate Mohammad Yunus was made Bangladesh's chief adviser.
A complaint was registered against Yunus in the International Criminal Court
A complaint has been filed against Mohammad Yunus at the International Criminal Court (ICC). The complaint was filed by Awami League leader and former mayor of Sylhet Anwarazman Chaudhary at the Netherlands-based ICC. Apart from Yunus, the names of 61 other people are also included in it.
Former mayor Choudhary released a video on Facebook saying that there was a massacre of Awami League activists and minorities in Bangladesh between August 5 and 8. Evidence linked to the massacre has been handed over to the ICC. Chowdhury said that they will register 15 thousand more such complaints soon.
