There will be a new party, and the discussion is currently going on in Washington. However, there is no chance for the Zia family.

Yeah - we all know that Tareq has a Visa ban to the US.

Yes. Tomorrow bcl and police will give it all one last time and if people stay together, they will get beaten like dogs In Sha Allah.

BAL cadres are trying to spread fear and rumors to disorganize the protests. People are calling it Laylatul Gujob lol

Tonight and tomorrow are the most important 24 hours in the history of Bangladesh since 1975

 

[Bilal9]

The fact that the US is keeping India out of the equation (for now at least ) is an unprecedented harbinger of the future.

BAL cadres tried to issue a "death bite" by attacking BNP leader Rumeen Farhana's house en masse, she reported. I don't know if she's just trying to make hay out of the situation or trying to be "attention queen".

 

[Bilal9]

In that meeting we heard? If that's the case , that should be a beginning of new dawn. Now I'm thinking about pro Indians / Raw moles. When the cleansing mission will be started!

RAW has two separate locked "no-go" floors in DGFI HQ - my understanding. Guessing those are either empty now or they are very busy shredding documents.

Allah Meherban.

There is no power greater than Allah!

Surah Al-Baqarah Ayat 20 (2:20 Quran)

يَكَادُ ٱلۡبَرۡقُ يَخۡطَفُ أَبۡصَٰرَهُمۡۖ كُلَّمَآ أَضَآءَ لَهُم مَّشَوۡاْ فِيهِ وَإِذَآ أَظۡلَمَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ قَامُواْۚ وَلَوۡ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَذَهَبَ بِسَمۡعِهِمۡ وَأَبۡصَٰرِهِمۡۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ

Yakaadul barqu yakhtafu absaarahum kullamaaa adaaa'a lahum mashaw feehi wa izaaa azlama 'alaihim qaamoo; wa law shaaa'al laahu lazahaba bisam'ihim wa absaarihim; innal laaha 'alaa kulli shai'in Qadeer

The lightning almost snatches away their sight: whenever it flashes on them they walk on and when darkness falls around them they stand still. If God so willed, He could take away their hearing and sight: God has power over everything.

One demand now
PM, her cabinet colleagues must step down, say protesters from a mammoth rally at Central Shaheed Minar

Turning down the prime minister's call for dialogue, the organisers of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement yesterday came up with a one-point demand -- the resignation of Sheikh Hasina and her cabinet members.

They made the announcement at a rally attended by tens of thousands of people at the Central Shaheed Minar around 5:00pm.

People from all walks of life – from teachers to lawyers to rickshaw pullers -- joined the rally that spilled over into surrounding areas.

"We are here with a one-point demand. We seek to ensure people's safety and justice … ," said Nahid Islam, one of the key organisers.

Referring to the PM's call for dialogue, he said, "We are demanding the resignation of Sheikh Hasina. Her resignation is not enough;she has to be brought to justice for all the killings and abductions. Not only Sheikh Hasina, but also the entire cabinet has to resign."

Nahid said they want to develop a political system where autocracy would never return. He urged the people to join the "student-citizen mass uprising" and organise in every locality.

Tens of thousands of people from all walks of life yesterday joined the anti-discrimination student movement in their own cities and districts across the country. Chattogram

He said the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement will soon forge an alliance of citizens, student organisations, and all professionals.

"Upon consulting all, we will unveil a future national framework. We are urging people to join the all-out non-cooperation. We will not cooperate with the government in any way," he said.

Earlier in the morning, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina called upon the students to sit with her at the Gono Bhaban.

"The Gono Bhaban's doors are open. I want to sit with the agitating students and listen to them. I don't want any conflict," she said at a meeting with professionals.

Dhaka
THE RALLY

Braving the rain, many with their family members started flocking to the Central Shaheed Minar since morning -- first in their hundreds and then in their thousands.

They carried the national flag, banners, and placards from across the city, including Rampura, Badda, Dhanmondi, Science Laboratory, and Mirpur areas.

As the rally began, the crowd poured over onto the Doyel Chattar in the east, Jagannath Hall in the west, Dhaka Medical College Hospital gate area in the south, and Shibbari intersection in the north.

The areas reverberated with anti-government slogans such as "Dofa Ek, Dabi Ek, Sheikh Hasinar Podotyag [One point, one demand, the resignation of Sheikh Hasina]".

The protesters in groups graffitied the streets, walls, and trees. Some of them were seen writing posters and banners.

Rafique Munir and his wife Ahmed Munira went to the Central Shaheed Minar with their six-year-old son.

Munir told The Daily Star, "The demand is now loud and clear. We do not want anyone in power who kills our children."

Aziz Miah, a rickshaw-puller, said, "Our brothers were killed when they took to the streets. How long will we remain silent? The time is now to raise our voices."

Demonstrators took to the streets across Dhaka since morning, demanding justice for those killed in the recent violence centring the quota reform protests. They blocked various intersections.

Around 11:00am, the protesters began gathering in front of BRAC University, Aftabnagar residential area gate and Banasree. They were chanting slogans demanding resignation of the PM and justice for their friends who were killed.

Around 1:30pm, parents of students in nearby neighbourhoods joined the protesters and gave them dry food and water.

After half an hour, the protesters formed a procession and headed towards the Shaheed Minar. As the procession went past New Market, hundreds of workers from nearby markets joined it.

Police and two dozen members of the Border Guard Bangladesh were standing at a safe distance from the demonstration.

In Uttara, the protesters took position near the BNS Centre and its surrounding streets. Like other places in the city, many parents were with them.

Students from various universities in and around Uttara stood on the pavements with placards. "My brother is in the grave, why is the killer outside?" and "Police, whose side are you on, the people's or Sheikh Hasina's?", read some placards.

A parent said, "We are here for the safety of our children. We want peace. No more bullets. These bullets are bought with our money."

As the rally at the Central Shaheed Minar ended at about 6:10pm, the protesters gathered in the TSC area. They tore down several banners and posters of Chhatra League leaders and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

@LeonBlack08 Is the other biggest Bengali defense site ( Bengali owner) an ardent supporter of the BAL regime in the false hope of getting contracts?

Bengali defense site---supporter of BAL regime? The supporters of BAL regime hate the army from the core of their hearts. They don't open defense sites to discuss military stuffs. I am sure it's a defense site running by DGFI.

Leon knows which site I am referring to. I have known about their existence for a very long time.

 

[Saif]

It is a classic carrot-and-stick approach. No Indian agent will be spared this time, regardless of whether the army wants it or not. He is no longer the boss.

Wakar is related to Hasina and well known for his pro-India sentiment. I think the army is divided into two groups----pro and anti Hasina/India. I am sure the anti Hasina/India group shall prevail, Inshallah.

Leon knows which site I am referring to. I have known about their existence for a very long time.

I am sure that site is running by DGFI/RAW.

I know the Bengali owner of that site and also know exactly where he lives.
