Call for Peaceful Strike to Send a Strong Message to the Government

By Staff Correspondent

Awami League President Sheikh Hasina has called for a peaceful strike to send a strong message to the illegal interim government led by Dr. Yunus. She made this appeal in a message to the nation’s people and party activists last night.

Sheikh Hasina instructed party leaders and activists to conduct the strike with public support, without resorting to force. She also directed them to coordinate with transport workers, rickshaw pullers, and CNG drivers to ensure the success of the strike.

Labeling the illegal government as a patron of terrorism, Sheikh Hasina emphasized the importance of relying on the people’s strength to protect Bangladesh.

The Awami League president also demanded the withdrawal of all politically motivated cases, the reinstatement of revoked passports, and an end to all forms of repression.

The political programs announced by the Awami League throughout February conclude today (February 18) with the nationwide strike. These programs included distributing leaflets detailing state repression, public engagement, protest marches, and torch processions. The series of events is coming to an end peacefully, without violence.

However, the Awami League, the country’s oldest political party, claims that law enforcement agencies have unlawfully arrested over a thousand party members across the country under the pretense of “Operation Devil Hunt.”
