Activists of the platform headed by its spokesperson Imran H Sarker are taking part in the road march.
"The road march is the beginning of our long-term movement against communal violence. Our movement will continue," Sarker told reporters prior to the march.
He said after returning from Jessore, the platform would galvanise the pro-Liberation War forces in places where minorities have been attacked.
Replying a query on the possibilities of being attacked during the road march, Sarker said: "The communal forces have attacked the Ganajagaran Manhca before. We do not care these attacks. We have formally informed the RAB and police for the security. They have assured us of sufficient security."
The Ganajagaran Mancha announced its road march on Tuesday after religious minorities had come under attack following Sunday's polls.
It will hold four road-side meetings and two public rallies during the march.
