The march will proceed to the Central Shaheed Minar, and people from various professions, including university teachers, engineers, and doctors, were invited to join.
In response to the ongoing nationwide student protests, teachers, students, and officials from various departments of Dhaka University organised protest rallies, human chains, and a procession on the campus.
Speaking at the rally, Professor Asif Nazrul of the Law Department said, "This government will not prosecute the killings because the government itself is involved in it. Murderous forces and organizations were supported and encouraged by the highest level of the government. Efforts are being made to divert the course of justice."
"I witnessed students being shot by police in uniform. I saw the video of Abu Sayed being shot. Firearms were in the hands of Jubo League and Chhatra League activists, yet the government continues to claim that our students were killed by terrorists," he added.
Asif said, "Our existence is under attack. Teachers will not remain silent while students are left insecure. The youth are the heart of Bangladesh; an attack on them is an attack on the nation itself. The government should not expect us to accept this quietly."
