Three days of political demonstrations began on Thursday in Bangladesh with rival groups ready to organize mass demonstrations in Dhaka, which increased support for anticipated elections with enthusiasm after a survey last year.
The winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, Muhammad Yunus, 84, who led an interim government since the autocratic prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, fled to the exile when the crowds broke into his palace in August, said that the elections will be held from December, already mid -2026.
The Nationalist Party of Bangladesh (BNP), widely inclined to win the survey, will celebrate a demonstration of May in Dhaka.
“We are sure that this will be the great most memorable concentration in recent times,” said BNP media Shairul Kabir Khan.
Jamaat-E-Islami will also take to the streets of the capital on Thursday.
The Jatiya party, previously close to the Hasina regime, will also celebrate a demonstration.
It will be his first outdoor political event since his offices were destroyed in October, supposedly to help the Hasina Awami League to cling to power.
On Friday, the National Citizens Party (NCP), formed by students who headed the protests led by young people who will overthrow Hasina, will celebrate a demonstration.
The leader of the PNC, Nahid Islam, initially joined the interim government led by Yunus, before resigning to form the party.
“Political programs help us build a public participation,” said the senior NCP official, Ariful Islam Adib. “This rally is not about showing strength, but we expect 20,000 to 30,000 attendees.”
Hefazat-E-Islam, an Islamic seminars platform, will celebrate a “great concentration” on Saturday.
“Our rally is a reminder for the government of the sacrifices we have made,” said its leader Mamunul Haque, adding that they will use the event to present their demands.
The key between them is to discard the recommendations of a women’s government commission to end the discriminatory provisions against women, an additional indication of how hard and religious line activism is being strengthened after years of suppression.
“We will file four lawsuits. The boss among them is discarding the recommendations of the Women’s Rights Commission,” said Muca.
“We don’t care if it’s Muhammad Yunus in charge or someone even more prominent, we will go to the streets,” he added.
Hasina, who remains in self -imposed exile in India, has challenged an arrest warrant of Dhaka for charges of crimes against humanity.
