A banned organization, Chhatra League, held a flash procession on the busy Dhaka–Mymensingh Highway in Sreepur upazila of Gazipur on Saturday, January 17. The event took place around 3 p.m. in front of Pushpadam Resort under the banner reading “Boycott elections without the boat symbol.” About fifty activists reportedly participated, following instructions from Gazipur district Chhatra League president Sultan Md. Sirajul Islam. Video footage circulating on social media showed Sreepur upazila Chhatra League joint convener Sohel Sarkar leading the procession.
Authorities and observers described the act as a clear violation of the government ban on the organization. According to existing law, any rally or political activity under the name of a banned group is illegal. The incident raised concerns about law enforcement and administrative oversight in the area.
Sreepur police officer-in-charge Mohammad Nasir Ahmed said the location might not fall under his station’s jurisdiction and that conflicting information about time and place was being verified. Observers warned that continued public activities by banned groups could threaten law and order and undermine state authority if not addressed promptly.
