The banned Awami League has announced programs under the banner of 'Sheikh Hasina Oikya Parishad' demanding withdrawal of restrictions on its activities. The group plans a human chain in front of the National Press Club and a tribute at the National Memorial in Savar on March 26, coinciding with Bangladesh’s Independence Day. Law enforcement agencies have been placed on high alert as intelligence reports suggest the events may serve to signal the party’s political presence.

Authorities report that several former leaders, including Shahriar Suman, Hanif Khan, Saiful Alam Babul, and Farida Ilyas, are involved in organizing the activities. Intelligence sources also claim that a group of journalists and intellectuals are covertly aiding the banned organization’s revival efforts. Across multiple districts, attempts have been made to reopen sealed party offices and stage flash processions.

Police, RAB, and intelligence units have intensified nationwide security measures from March 25 to 26 to prevent unrest. Cyber monitoring teams are tracking online propaganda, while checkpoints and patrols have been reinforced in Dhaka and other key areas.
