Ganajagaran Mancha on Friday held a national conference of representatives at Dhaka University’s Nawab Ali Chowdhury Senate Bhaban.
From the event, the Mancha announced a grand rally at Shahbagh on May 31 and urged people from the grassroots to attend it.
The protesters will also hold a rally at Gazipur on May 10 and Mymensigh on May 18 to resist the thirteen-point demand of Hafazat-e-islam, and to demand the death penalty for all war criminals and a ban on Jamaat-e-Islami and Islami Chhatra Shibir.
Ganajagaran Mancha convenor Imran H Sarkar said, “The ongoing movement against the war criminals will be continued in a non-violent way as before.”
Imran also asked the Mancha’s local representatives to hold rallies and campaigns to reach the grassroots level to encourage their participation.
616 representatives from 427 Manchas in Dhaka, Barisal, Sylhet, Rangpur, Khulna, Rajshahi and Chittagong attended the occasion.
The event began by observing a one-minute silence to mourn the victims of the Savar tragedy.
Ekaturrer Ghatak-Dalal Nirmul Committee president Shahriar Kabir, Bangladesh Chhatra Moitri president Bappaditya Basu, Bangladesh Chhatra Union President SM Shuvo, Prabir Saha of Bangladesh Chhatra Federation and Saifuzzaman Shakon of Samjtantrik Chhatra Front also attended the daylong programme.
