In response to the Awami League's (AL) blockade programme, centring on the verdict of Sheikh Hasina's case at the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) on November 13, 'July Oikka' has announced a series of counter programmes.
The announcement came from a press conference, held at Dhaka University's Modhur Canteen on Tuesday. Mosaddeq Ali Ibn Mohammad, the organisation's chief coordinator and the literature and cultural secretary of DUCSU, declared the programmes.
He stated that on November 12, protest marches will be held in Dhaka, Chattogram, Barishal, and Sylhet, demanding the execution of "killer Hasina" and the implementation of the July Charter. On November 13, the group will observe a sit-in programme at key points across the country to protest the "anarchy created by Awami League" and the "controversial role of the administration".
Mosaddeq Ali accused Awami League, Jubo League and banned Chhatra League of being involved in arson attacks, bomb blasts, and assaults on civilians across the country, claiming that the administration's silence has encouraged such acts.
He further alleged that the incidents of arson and crude bomb explosions have already taken place in the capital ahead of the tribunal's verdict on November 13.
"The officials involved in enforced disappearances and killings are still in their positions, which is both shameful and alarming for the country."
Mosaddeq Ali also declared that the next national election must be held based on the July Charter, warning that the students and people would not accept any compromise beyond it.
"If the government and political parties fail to take a decision soon, we will implement the July Charter from the streets."
He expressed concern that India is reportedly establishing new military camps and stations near the Panchagarh and Kurigram border areas, calling on the government to clarify its stance on this issue, which he described as "a threat to Bangladesh's overall security."
