Under the banner of Bikkhubdha Deshbashi (aggrieved citizens), the common people spontaneously joined the procession with the slogan 'The defeated forces of 1971, the mastermind of recent bomb blasts, must be resisted.'

Starting from the Central Shaheed Minar in the morning, the procession ended at the National Museum after passing through the Teachers Students Centre (TSC) and Milan Chattar on DU campus.

Earlier speakers at the Shaheed Minar said, taking the advantage of people's generosity and myopia of the ruling parties, the vested quarter who opposed the liberation of the country gained much strength and started fighting against the progressive forces to turn the country into a communal and fundamental one.

"They even threatened to eliminate the freedom fighters and undermine the spirit of our liberation war, said Zahirul Islam, an activist of Bikkhubdha Deshbashi, while reading out a written speech.

Similar processions were also brought out in Kishoreganj, Netrakona, Sirajganj and Narayanganj at the same time.

On December 14, Bikkhubdha Deshbashi announced a programme to hold national flag procession on every Friday till March 26 to protect the dignity of the national flag and resist the defeated forces of 1971.

A grand national flag procession will be brought out in Dhaka on March 25.

Different organisations including Ain O Shalish Kendra (ASK), Nijera Kori, Karmojibi Nari, Mahila Parishad, Naripakkha, Udichi Shilpi Goshthi and Manobadhikar Natya Parishad have expressed solidarity with the movement of the Bikkhubdha Deshbashi.
