The Bangladesh Awami League has called upon party leaders, activists, and the people to remain vigilant against the conspiracies of the illegal usurpers and their accomplices surrounding the โDhaka Lockdownโ programme.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the party said that Muhammad Yunus and his cohorts have unjustly deprived the Awami League of its democratic rights and violated the human rights of its leaders and activists. Moreover, they are staging a mockery of justice through false and harassing cases.

โWe have repeatedly warned this illegitimate occupying force. We have said that Awami League leaders and activists know how to fight for their rights through struggle and movement. True to its tradition, the Awami League has announced a political program to assert those rights.
โThe people have already responded enthusiastically to the announced Dhaka Lockdown programme. The overwhelming public response has terrified the illegal occupiers, and the scenes from Dhaka over the past two days clearly show how successful the Awami Leagueโs program has been.โ
The statement said that Yunus is conspiring to undermine the success of this democratic movement and are either committing or sponsoring acts of terrorism and violence themselves, then trying to shift the blame onto the Awami League.
โThere is no evidence that Awami League leaders or activists have been involved in any of the places where such incidents occurred. Instead, members of the policeโs intelligence wing have been abducting Awami League activists from their homes, fabricating stories of sabotage, and filing false cases against them.

โDespite heavy restrictions, several news outlets have already reported that these acts of violence and terrorism are taking place with the tacit support of the administration.โ
The statement asked party leaders and activists to uphold the peopleโs spontaneous support for the Awami Leagueโs lockdown programme and carry out the lockdown in a peaceful manner.
โThe goal of the Bangladesh Awami League is to break through all webs of conspiracy and ensure that the illegal, usurping, fascist Yunus clique cannot deceive the people or trample their rights any further.
โWe will continue this struggle until the rights of the people are fully restoredโInshallah.โ
