At the Jamaat-e-Islami rally in Suhrawardy Udyan, Islami Chhatra Shibir's Literary Secretary Sadiq Kayem proclaimed that “the upcoming revolution will be an Islamic one.” He asserted that the people of Bangladesh have previously stood up to fascism and will do so again. Kayem referenced the martyrdom of activists at Shapla Chattar, on university campuses, and in the recent July uprising. He accused the previous Awami League government of committing mass killings following Delwar Hossain Sayeedi’s verdict and pointed to the deaths of students, including Abrar Fahad, at the hands of student wing members. “A new revolution is needed to achieve our seven-point demands and safeguard national sovereignty,” he stated.
