On the morning of the protest, BNP's three organizationsβJuba Dal, Sramik Dal, and Chhatra Dalβbegan their march from the party's central office in Nayapaltan. They vocally expressed their discontent with Indian aggression, with a senior BNP leader, Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, emphasizing their stand against it. The event saw thousands rallying, shouting slogans such as 'Dhaka, not Delhi.' After a brief assembly that highlighted the historical bonds and communal harmony in Bangladesh, the protesters headed towards the Indian High Commission to submit a memorandum. Rizvi underlined that if Indian aggression continues, the BNP is ready to intensify their protests. He condemned recent incidents involving disrespect towards the Bangladeshi flag and media propagation against Bangladesh. This mobilization is part of a wider narrative of national injustice that those involved feel increasingly passionate about. Concerns were also raised about border violations and their implications for Bangladesh's security, prompting officials to express readiness to respond to any such incursions. Amidst these events, discussions about the strained relations between Bangladesh and India were also brought to light, indicating that bilateral communications must improve to ensure mutual benefits, particularly in trade and stability.
