Bangladesh Nationalist Chhatra Dal has announced a protest program condemning the brutal attack by the occupying Israeli forces on Gaza, Palestine. At the same time, the organization has expressed solidarity with the global program tomorrow, Monday, expressing sympathy for the Palestinians who were killed in the Israeli attack.
In a statement on Sunday, Chhatra Dal President Rakibul Islam and General Secretary Nasir Uddin announced a protest program against the Israeli aggression in Gaza.
The statement said that thousands of innocent people have already been martyred in the brutal attack by the Israeli forces in Gaza. Israeli soldiers are brutally killing children, women and the elderly. Gaza is a valley of death today. Israel is engaged in a hellish massacre to erase Gaza from the map of the world. It is regrettable that the world is still playing the role of a silent spectator.
In a statement, protesting the Israeli aggression in Gaza, Chhatra Dal leaders said that it is not possible to express the condemnation of such terrible barbarity in words. Despite Israel’s barbarity, the indifferent behavior of the world is even more inhuman. In view of this, Chhatra Dal is announcing a protest program in all educational institutions of the country on Tuesday to protest against Israel’s barbaric genocide in Gaza.
As part of the program, Chhatra Dal will hold a joint protest rally in the heart of the city by wearing black clothes in front of all educational institutions of the country at 10:30 am on Tuesday and taking out a procession from all educational institutions of each city at 12:00 noon. The statement has requested all students and the public of the country to participate in the program.
