The scenario has changed after takeover of the present government which includes anti-liberation forces, she told the gathering.

Chaired by the district Awami League President Golam Mohiuddin, the public meeting was addressed by, among others, by AL presidium member Tofael Ahmed, Youth and Sports Affair Secretary Shafiul Arefin Tutul, former district unit president and secretary Mosleuddin Khan Habu Mia and Gazi Kamrul Huda Selim.

Tofail Ahmed alleged that the BNP-Jamaat Government is trying to cling to power through repression. They are closing down industrial units one after another, turning people jobless, he told.

Other front-ranking leaders called upon the people to unite under the banner of Awami League and launch a greater agitation to oust the government.
