The Jashore District Awami League staged a protest march against alleged extortion activities by BNP-Jamaat and false arson cases involving the BNP office.

The march took place on Monday, January 13, starting at noon from the Courtpara area and ending at Daratana in central Jashore. It was led by Sheikh Atikur Babu, the district Awami League’s Secretary for Industry and Commerce.

Participants in the protest gathered after attending a court hearing regarding the arson case and marched to Daratana. Slogans such as “Sheikh Hasina will come, Bangladesh will smile,” “On this day, we remember Mujib,” and “Joy Bangla, Joy Bangabandhu” were chanted during the demonstration.

Sheikh Atikur Babu described the march as the first protest against the alleged illegal activities of the Yunus government in Jashore. He also claimed that the BNP had filed false charges against them for commemorating National Mourning Day on August 15.
