All-out strike called: Protest program against genocide and fascist government in Gopalganj

Special Correspondent

Bangladesh Awami Jubo League, Bangladesh Awami Swechchhasebak League, Jatiya Sramik League and Bangladesh Chhatra League have called for a nationwide morning and evening strike on July 20 to protest the indiscriminate shooting of the general public, farmers, workers, students, women and children, and leaders and activists of Awami League and Chhatra League in Gopalganj and to demand an end to the so-called ‘kangaroo court’ farce trial against Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

A joint statement issued by the organizations said that this strike program is not only a protest against the oppression and constitutional violations of the occupation government led by the murderer-militant-illegal-fascist Yunus, but also the beginning of a new chapter of the mass movement.

According to them, this massacre carried out on the holy land of Gopalganj has deeply wounded the conscience of the nation and the government cannot avoid responsibility for it.

The statement further said that this strike is part of the preparations for the ‘Yamuna Gherao’ program, which will initiate the final fight against Yunus’ conspiracy to destroy the country.

The organizations believe that this mock court is being run not to prosecute Sheikh Hasina, but to insult her. Such activities are a direct threat to the country’s democracy, freedom, and sovereignty.

They appealed to the people and said that the entire public, including students, youth, farmers, workers, professionals, teachers, doctors, journalists, intellectuals, etc. of Bengal, must play the most responsible role to make the strike a success. This strike must be actively shaped to achieve victory in the fight to restore democracy.

In their words, the conspiracy to hand over the beloved motherland to foreigners, to turn it into a terrorist base, and to turn it into a dysfunctional and failed state cannot be allowed to materialize. They have declared their determination to oust Yunus and achieve final victory.
