Dhaka: The Islami Chhatrashibir protested the indiscriminate killing of innocent Palestinians by the occupying Israeli forces in Gaza and demanded an independent Palestinian state.
On Saturday (May 4) morning, the procession started from Mirpur No. 10 in the capital and reached Kazipara and ended with a short rally.
The protest march and assembly was conducted by Central Executive Council member and Dhaka Metropolitan West Branch President MA Zaman Bhuiyan.

Branch Secretary HMS Mahmud along with many leaders and workers of the branch were present in the procession.
Azizur Rahman Azad, the chief guest in the speech, said that the occupying Israeli forces are attacking the Palestinian Muslims. Already, they have unjustly killed and martyred thirty five thousand of our brothers and sisters. Seventy-eight thousand brothers and sisters were injured and maimed in their attacks. Our brothers are being subjected to torture in food, clothing, medical care, education, electricity and water. The Palestinian people are dying because of lack of food. As a Muslim we cannot remain silent in this situation.
He also said that the countrymen of Bangladesh must unite and form a movement against the occupying Israeli forces and its allies America and India. At the same time, all commercial relations with them should be severed. All products of India and Israel should be boycotted. We have to play a leading role in raising awareness and movement in all educational institutions including schools, colleges, universities.
Finally, he urged everyone to pray to Allah for help for the Palestinian Muslims.
