"On this day, the politics and society had lost its direction amidst the mayhem and brutality carried out by Awami terrorists at the directive of Sheikh Hasina," he said at a discussion at the Engineering Institute in Ramna, Dhaka.

Jamaat Ameer said on October 28, 2006, Awami tourists along with Jubo League and Chhatra League attacked Jammat's pre announced rally and beaten to death many people using 'Logi-boitha' at the north gate of Baitul Mukarram.

Dr Shafiqur Rahman demanded justice for every killing from October 28, 2006 to August 5, 2024 by the Awami League and its collaborators, saying, "the interim government might not complete the trial, but it must start."

Addressing the meeting BNP Standing Committee Member Mirza Abbas praised the political wisdom and honesty of Jamaat leaders.

He said, "Our previous demand was making Bangladesh free from Hasina. Now, the demand is making the country free from Awami League as its cohorts as they are still remaining at different tires of the administration including police, RAB and army."

Democracy cannot be established in real sense keeping those AL cohorts in the administration, he said, adding, they are bringing new theories every day before the nation. Even, they are propagating those theories through the mouth of our political leaders."
