Jubo League holds youth grand rally Friday

Awami Jubo League will arrange a youth grand rally in the city's historic Suhrawardy Udyan tomorrow marking the golden jubilee and 50th founding anniversary of the party.

Awami League (AL) President and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will be present there as the chief guest.

The youth gathering will start at 2.30 pm on the day, Jubo League Chairman Sheikh Fazle Shams Parash said at a press conference at AL central office in the city's Bangabandhu Avenue on yesterday.

"Bangladesh Awami Jubo League, the biggest youth organisation of the South Asia, played key role in any crisis of the country," he said, adding that the anti-state evil force 'BNP-Jamaat' is trying to create unstable situation in the country.

After November 11, Jubo League leaders and activists will resist the BNP-Jamaat and their followers on the street if they try to make any anarchy, the Jubo League Chairman said.

Jubo League believes that if Bangladesh fails, the pro-liberation force will lose, he further said, adding: "The countrymen didn't forget the strike of 92 days imposed by the BNP-Jamaat."

During the strike, the BNP-Jamaat clique killed innocent people through arson attacks while a total of 560 educational institutions were burnt into ashes, Parash said.

They (BNP-Jamaat) had shifted the country into a burn unit, he continued. The Jubo League Chairman hoped that the Suhrawardy Udyan will be turned into sea of people during the youth grand rally.

A total of 10 sub-committees were formed to successfully hold the youth gathering, he informed.

Five gates will be there to enter the Suhrawardy Udyan, he went on saying while Jubo League General Secretary Mainul Hossain Khan Nikhil was present at the press briefing.
