In Raiganj upazila of Sirajganj, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami organized separate protest marches and sit-ins on Thursday morning opposing the Awami League’s alleged anarchy and lockdown program. The BNP rally, led by upazila Jubo Dal president Md. Abdur Razzak Rana, began at 10 a.m. and concluded with a brief assembly at the upazila council premises. Around the same time, Jamaat activists marched from Dhangara Palli Bidyut Mor to the market area before gathering for a short rally chaired by upazila Ameer Md. Ali Murtuza. Speakers at both events condemned the ruling party’s repression, arrests, and political persecution, urging for intensified democratic movements to protect citizens’ rights.
