Students under the banner of Anti-discrimination Students Movement brought out a procession demanding justice against the murders, disappearances, corruption during the Awami League tenure.
The procession started from Janata Bank intersection in Faridpur district town around 7am and ended at Faridpur Press Club after marching towards Mujib Road.
They also chanted slogans demanding trial of Awami League government and Sheikh Hasina.
Sohel Rana, a coordinator of the movement, said "Our torch procession is a warning to those who pounced on us like hyenas and attacked us during the mass movement of '24, as well as to those who are creating chaos in Bangladesh after '24."

Arafat, another coordinator said Awami League and its collaborators are trying to rise again. We have identified the Awami League, Jubo League and Chhatra League—who were directly involved in mass killing during the 2024 movement—as terrorist organisations. These perpetrators of mass killing will not be allowed to rehabilitate themselves in this land. The student community is determined to protect this independent Bangladesh.”
“We want to send them a clear message that our brothers were killed in the 2024 movement, yet we did not take up arms. But if they attempt any new conspiracies under the banner of a terrorist organisation, this time we will take up arms in resistance and revenge. We will give them a befitting response,” he said.
