Gono Odhikar Parishad has protested the court’s acceptance of a case related to an attack on its members in Barishal. The incident occurred when the party tried to stop Awami League members from joining a Jatiya Party procession. Senior leader Abu Hanif said, “The judiciary is still under the influence of fascists. Just like verdicts used to come from Hasina’s instructions, we must now find out whose orders are at play.” He condemned the filing of cases against 25 leaders including Nurul Haque Nur and Rashed Khan and accused the Jatiya Party and 14-party alliance of protecting the regime.
