The ruling Awami League (AL) leaders and activists took positions on different city streets including the party's central office at Bangabandhu Avenue Sunday morning.
Several hundred Awami League men took a position in front of the party's central office as they were seen chanting slogans. The gathering was increasing fast as the day progressed.
The Awami League men then began marching on different roads near the party office chanting slogans.
They said the quota movement is not controlled by the protesters. So, the ruling party men are ready to resist them, they added.
The Awami League leaders and activists have also crowded at city's different spots including Azimpur, Palashi, Dhanmondi, Mirpur and Khamarbari areas in line with the party's program announced earlier.
On the other hand, the news on cancelling the street gathering of the party men on social media was a rumour, Awami League Office Secretary Barrister Biplob Barua said, adding the program has not been cancelled.
"The program continues ...the rumours were spread to confuse the party men," he said.
