Some people under the banner of anti- discrimination students-teachers have gathered at Zero Point in the capital to protest Awami League’s programme it had announced through a Facebook post.
Earlier, the Awami League announced a demonstration programme at Shaheed Noor Hossain Square at Zero Point at 3 pm on Sunday demanding 'removal of undemocratic forces and restoration of democratic system’.
Soon after their announcement, Anti-discrimination student movement called for a mass gathering programme at Zero Point in Gulistan at 12 noon on Sunday.
Terming Bangladesh Awami League a "fascist" party, Chief Adviser's Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam on Saturday said the interim government will not tolerate any violence or any attempt to break the public order in the country.
"The Awami League in its current form is a fascist party. There is no way this fascist party will be allowed to hold protests in Bangladesh," he said.
The Press Secretary said the party has no chance to protest in Bangladesh.
If anyone tries to hold meetings, gatherings and processions on the orders of mass murderer and dictator Sheikh Hasina, the law and order forces will deal with it strictly, Alam said in a post from his verified Facebook account.
On November 10, 1987, Noor Hossain, a leader of Awami Jubo League, was killed in police firing while protesting against the then autocratic rule of Gen HM Ershad at the capital's zero point near Gulistan.
