Bangladesh Student Leaders Vow to Prevent Unrest Amid Awami League Controversy

Student leaders in Bangladesh have vowed to prevent any disruptions by Awami League activists following the cancellation of a national holiday. The holiday, which marks the assassination of the country's founder, was canceled by the interim government, prompting activists to remain vigilant on the streets to prevent potential chaos.

Student leaders in Bangladesh have pledged to thwart any attempts at chaos by Awami League activists following the interim government's decision to cancel the national holiday on August 15. This holiday commemorates the assassination of the nation's founder, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

Sarjis Alam, a coordinator of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, declared at a rally that they would remain on the streets to resist any chaos. He also warned against attempts to stage a counter-coup, ensuring no one would be allowed to disrupt the peace.

Bangladesh's interim government canceled the holiday after discussions with political parties, excluding the Awami League. In response, another speaker, Abdul Hannan Masud, condemned any conspiracies led by Sheikh Hasina. The burning of Bangabandhu Museum has also been a point of contention, with Hasina seeking justice for the act.
