The Justice and Democracy Party (JDP) held a protest march in Dhaka on Monday night, condemning what it described as arson and sabotage by the banned Awami League in different parts of the country.
The march began in front of the National Museum at Shahbagh around 9pm and ended at the Teacher-Student Centre (TSC) area of Dhaka University, where party leaders addressed a brief gathering.
Speakers at the gathering said there was national unity against terrorism and sabotage. They alleged that grassroots activists were being used by fugitive leaders who were encouraging them to engage in acts of violence and sabotage.
They urged Awami League activists at the grassroots level not to become involved in violence or destructive activities in exchange for money, warning that such actions could jeopardise their future and leave them facing legal consequences.
Leaders and activists of the JDP and its affiliated student organisation, Jatiya Chhatra Mancha, took part in the protest march.
