As both the anti-government activists and the ruling Awami League plan rallies in Bangladesh on Sunday, the situation is uncomfortable.
Following deadly assault that was sparked by protests last month about restrictions in civil service positions, which resulted in more than 200 fatalities.
In a significant crackdown by security forces in the last two weeks, apparently, around 10,000 people have been detained. Kids and followers of the opposition were among those detained.
Individuals Against Discrimination, a team behind the anti-government presentations, has called on prime minister Sheikh Hasina to step down.
Beginning on Sunday, the organization has set up a global rebellion movement that asks people to refrain from paying any taxes or paying any utility bills. Additionally, the learners demanded that all companies and modes of transportation be shut down.
The Awami League, the group of Ms Hasina, is also holding rallies across the country on Sunday.
There are issues that there could be more crime now that both parties are scheduled to hold rallies.
Both camps believe that the upcoming days will be vital.
” Sheikh Hasina should not only retire, there should be a test for the killings, plundering and corruption”, Nahid Islam, one of the student group’s officials, told thousands of people at a meeting on Saturday in Dhaka.
The major opposition, which was boycotted for a third consecutive term in January elections, is in a position of significance because of the protests.
Last month, students protested the appointment of numerous civil support positions for relatives of Bangladeshi and Pakistani veterans.
Following a federal ruling, the government has now reduced the majority of the limit, but students have been protesting and demanding justice for those who have been killed and injured. They are now demanding that Ms. Hasina resign.
Backers of Ms Hasina have ruled out her departure.
Ms. Hasina had previously negotiated an end to the violence with the student officials.
” I want to talk to the agitated pupils of the action.” I want no conflict”, she said.
However, her offer was turned down by the scholar activists.
Following the protests, many police stations and state buildings were set on fire, according to Ms. Hasina’s call to the defense last month.
The Bangladeshi military commander, General Waker-Uz-Zaman, held a conference with young officers in Dhaka to examine the security situation.
According to a discharge from the Inter Services Public Relation Directorate,” Bangladesh Army has always stood by the people and may continue to do so for the interests of the people and in any need of the state.”
The government is attempting to control the rising flood of anger over how it first handled the demonstrations, which have re-entered many towns.
According to Bangladeshi press, police fatally shot the majority of protesters last month. Dozens were injured.
The state contends that only in self-defense and to safeguard state property did officers open fire.
