People swarm Suhrawardy Udyan to join ‘March for Gaza’ program

Hundreds of people have started gathering at Suhrawardy Udyan in Dhaka on Saturday to join the “March for Gaza” programme, expressing solidarity with the Palestinian people.

Although the mass gathering is scheduled to begin at 3:00 pm, people started arriving at the venue from different points of the capital Dhaka in large and small processions amid scorching sun since morning.

Suhrawardy Udyan and its adjacent areas have become abuzz with various slogans like ‘Free Free Palestine’, ‘Long Live Palestine’, ‘Who are we, who are you, Palestine, Palestine’.

Carrying both the national flag and the Palestinian flag, participants are gathering on Suhrawardy Udyan with a unified goal—to express solidarity with the Gaza people, build global public opinion, and raise their voices in favour of humanitarian values.

BNP, Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, National Citizen Party (NCP) and other political parties and organisations will join the programme.
