The Anti-Discrimination Employees’ Unity Forum has expressed solidarity with the ongoing protest against the newly introduced Secretariat employment ordinance. The forum also condemned the obstruction of its leaders from entering the Secretariat. It accused Cabinet Secretary Sheikh Abdur Rashid, Public Administration Secretary Md. Mokhlesur Rahman, and Home Secretary Nasimul Ghani of derailing the goals of the July Movement after receiving contractual appointments, allegedly with unethical support from controversial adviser Ali Imam Majumder. The forum demanded the cancellation of their appointments.
