United Peoples Bangladesh (UP Bangladesh) chief organizer Nayeem Ahmad has accused the Dr. Muhammad Yunus-led interim government of losing direction by failing to rely on public support. Speaking at a protest in Dhaka’s Shahbagh area, Ahmad said the government’s detachment from the people has endangered justice, reform, and the upcoming election. The rally was organized to protest recent killings and arson attacks, including the deaths of labor leader Dipu Chandra and a child named Ayesha.

Ahmad alleged that a fascist network, left unchecked within law enforcement, is orchestrating nationwide sabotage. He criticized the government for not purging loyalists of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and for ignoring the role of intelligence agencies, which he said remain “actively inactive.” He urged rebuilding trust between the government and citizens to ensure a fair election.

Speakers also demanded accountability from the Home Affairs Adviser and immediate action to stop ongoing violence. Ahmad expressed solidarity with the Inquilab Manch’s two-point program and called for protection of those who participated in the July uprising.
