When they attempted to hold a rally in Dhaka on Saturday to rally the withdrawal of March 7 and August 15 as “national days,” a mob attacked users of the Creative Writers Association, which is seen as a platform for pro-liberation battle writers.
Around 100 demonstrators officially were attacked with sticks by the crowd and chased away from the scene. A video of the incident went viral, in which the attackers may be heard saying:” Find them! Catch the Awami League individuals, all of them are running away”.
The research was to ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League.
The time government’s new delays had at least two dozen members of the association gathering.
Just as the association members were displaying their flags, the mob broke in. The Liberal Democratic Party demanded a moratorium on the Awami League in a conference with Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus on Saturday, claiming that it had no political authority in Bangladesh.
