The protest, that has resonated among the mass, rolled into a third straight day on Thursday and is expected to turn massive at the place they have dubbed as ‘Prajanma Chattar.
The organisers have called upon every citizen to join their on-going movement and chant slogans demanding death penalty for Jamaat-e-Islami leader Abdul Quader Molla.
The war crimes trial campaign, which bloggers took to Shahbagh, has also helped the freedom fighters regain their lost confidence in the youth.
Amiruddin Ahmed, a resident of Dhanmondi’s Shankar, was among the thousands of people who have joined the protest at Shahbagh.
“After coming here I have realised that the national flag is secure at the hands of our children,” he said.
The sexagenarian freedom fighter, who came there with his wife Rijia Amir, became quite emotional:” I pray from my heart that they grow big in life.”
Many of the 1971 ‘Golden Generation’ like Ahmed have found their hangout at ‘Prajonma Chatar’ to fresh draw inspiration.
The agitation for the demand spread across the country after a handful of protesters had started it on Tuesday at Shahbagh.
The Centre for Policy Dialogue and Bangladesh Samajtantrik Dal took out a procession that started from the Dhaka University’s Doyel Chattar and ended at Bahadur Shah Park at Old Dhaka. Sector Commanders’ Forum has observed a programme at the Central Shaheed Minar with similar demand.
