Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader on Friday called upon the young generation to come forward to resist all evil forces.
Quader, also road transport and bridges minister, made the call while opening a cycle rally, marking the 75th founding anniversary of the Awami League and Cycling For Health campaign, organized by Dhaka North City Corporation Mayor Md Atiqul Islam on Manik Mia Avenue.
The rally, joined by around 1,500 cyclists, started at the avenue and ended at Dhanmondi 32.
Later, they paid tribute to Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman there.
At the inaugural event, Atiqul said there is no alternative to cycling for a healthy body.
He hoped to make separate lanes for cycling in DNCC areas and hold the rally again in the future.
