Dhaka witnessed a large-scale protest march toward the Indian Embassy on Sunday, as thousands of leaders and activists from three affiliated organizations of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) expressed their strong opposition to recent events in Agartala. The demonstration, which began at 11:30 AM in front of the BNP central office in Naya Paltan, saw the participation of activists from the party’s youth, volunteer, and student wings. The protesters denounced the alleged attack and vandalism at Bangladesh's Assistant High Commission in Agartala, Tripura, accusing external forces of attempting to incite communal unrest.

The march, characterized by anti-India slogans, resonated throughout the surrounding areas as participants held placards and banners with messages such as “No to Delhi, Yes to Dhaka,” “Resist Indian Aggression, Unite the People,” and “One Nation, One Identity: Bangladesh Above All.” The marchers also highlighted themes of sovereignty, national pride, and resistance to perceived foreign dominance.

Senior BNP leaders, including Senior Joint Secretary Advocate Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, Juba Dal President Abdul Monayem Munna, and General Secretary Mohammad Nurul Islam Nayan, led the demonstration. Alongside them were key figures from the BNP-affiliated volunteer and student wings, including Swechchhasebak Dal President SM Zilani, General Secretary Rajib Ahsan, and Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal President Rakibul Islam Rakib and General Secretary Nasir Uddin Nasir.

According to party officials, this protest was part of a pre-scheduled program announced jointly by the Juba Dal, Swechchhasebak Dal, and Chhatra Dal. The initiative aimed to submit a memorandum to the Indian High Commission in Dhaka, expressing their condemnation of the alleged assault on the Agartala consulate and rejecting what they described as growing regional aggression.

The marchers underscored their demands for a sovereign and independent foreign policy, emphasizing friendship over domination in international relations. As the demonstration progressed, chants advocating national unity and resistance to external pressures grew louder. Protesters declared their determination to uphold the country's dignity, with slogans such as “Our Nation, Our Sovereignty, No Compromises,” and “We Want Friends Abroad, Not Masters.”

The protest reflects growing political tensions in Bangladesh as the BNP intensifies its activities ahead of national elections. Demonstrations of this nature underscore the party's strategic focus on addressing nationalistic and sovereignty-related themes to mobilize public support. The march ended peacefully without reports of violence, with organizers reiterating their commitment to furthering the cause of national sovereignty through similar activities in the coming weeks.
