Ahead of the verdict in a war crimes case against ousted former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, several anti-fascist political alliances, including Jamaat-e-Islami, the National Citizens Party (NCP), and the BNP, announced they will remain on the streets to prevent potential unrest. The groups fear that the banned Awami League might attempt acts of sabotage or violence following the ruling. BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir warned of nationwide tension and urged political unity to safeguard democracy. Leaders from the eight-party alliance said their activists would guard key installations and religious sites to ensure public safety. While some parties, like the Amar Bangladesh Party, emphasized the legal nature of the verdict, they also pledged to resist any attempt to disrupt justice. The coalition leaders reiterated that maintaining law and order is primarily the government’s responsibility but affirmed their readiness to act if violence erupts.
