In Sirajdikhan, Munshiganj, members of the banned Awami League-affiliated organizations Jubo League and Chhatra League organized a rally on Tuesday morning under police presence. The procession, led by Sirajdikhan Upazila Jubo League joint convener Zahidul Islam Litu, took place in Imamganj Bazar under the banner of the two prohibited groups. Witnesses said police vehicles accompanied the rally, raising controversy as the event occurred despite a ban on their political activities. The incident followed a day after the International Crimes Tribunal sentenced former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and ex-Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal to death for alleged crimes related to the 2024 uprising that left over 1,400 people dead. The local police chief confirmed the rally but claimed officers were unaware of the gathering until it dispersed. The public expressed surprise at the open defiance of the ban in front of law enforcement.
