Among the targeted were the former president and secretary of the Cumilla Bar Association. This incident stems from a violent crackdown on students on August 3, during which shots were fired. A case was later filed on February 12 by Inzamamul Haque Rana, accusing 261 individuals, including 26 lawyers.

Following a meeting with the Chief Election Commissioner, Islamic Unity Alliance leader Sakhawat Hossain Raji emphasized the need for swift electoral reforms and early elections.

True reform can only come through an elected government.” Raji also highlighted the need to eliminate the political “garbage” accumulated over the past 16 years, which he believes is crucial for free and fair elections. He noted that the difference between holding elections in June versus December is minimal, but reforms must come first.

Labeling the movement as “so-called,” they said, dishonors the blood of martyrs, betrays the injured and disabled protesters, and belittles the sacrifices of the student and general public. The statement added that using disparaging language, reminiscent of BAKSAL-era rhetoric, to undermine these sacrifices is unjust and deeply condemnable. Shibir urged Chhatra Dal to show more responsibility in their statements.
