Leaders of several students organisations at the Ganajagaran Mancha rally in the capital’s Jatrabari on Tuesday urged the people to form brigades at every area and neighbourhood around the country to resist Jamaat-e-Islami and its student wing Islami Chhatra Shibir from carrying out violent activities.
Their call came at the rally of tens of thousands held amid the opposition BNP enforced countrywide daylong shutdown.
This was the fifth rally, organised by the demonstrators from Shahbagh’s Ganajagaran Mancha across the capital Dhaka and outside the Shahbagh intersection, where it all started. The previous ones were held at Rayerbazar Mass Killing Ground, Mirpur-10, Motijheel and Old Dhaka’s Bahadur Shah park areas over the past few days.
After the rally, kicked off at 4pm with the national anthem, the student leaders urged the people to form committees, groups and brigades in their own neighbourhoods to thwart the Jamaat and Shibir.
Earlier, tens of thousands of people had assembled at Jatrabari after 3pm to join the rally where the main stage was made with two adjoining trucks, like the previous rallies.
People from all walks of life came with national flags and all were chanting slogans demanding that all the war criminals be hanged.
Bloggers Dr Rashidul Hasan and Khan Asaduzzaman Masum moderated the programme while Ganajagaran Mancha spokesperson Imran H Sarker inaugurated the rally by thanking all who joined.
