Attempt to revive another 1/11 will fail, warns Rashed

General Secretary of Bangladesh Gono Odhikar Parishad Rashed Khan on Saturday warned against attempts to involve the army in a confrontation with people, suggesting that such efforts are aimed at resurrecting a scenario similar to the 1/11 political crisis, reports UNB.

"Another 1/11 would harm the political parties of this country the most. There is no way such a situation can arise in Bangladesh," Khan said.

His comments came during a sit-in and mass signature campaign organised by the Dhaka metropolitan south unit of his political party in front of the Jatiya Press Club, calling for a ban on the Awami League (AL) and the trial of those responsible for the genocide.

Rashed Khan also referred to a conspiracy aimed at reintroducing the army into the political scene, invoking the army's historic role in mass uprisings. "Had the army not intervened, there would have been no mass uprising in Bangladesh.

When the army pointed its guns at the fascist police of the Awami League, Hasina was forced to flee," he said.

He stressed the need for the trial of genocide perpetrators, comprehensive state reforms, and the announcement of an electoral roadmap.
