A video showing a march by the banned Bangladesh Chhatra League in Boalkhali, Chattogram, has circulated on Facebook.

On Tuesday morning (October 20), Ariful Hasan Rubel, former general secretary of the Boalkhali upazila unit of Chhatra League, posted the video on his personal Facebook account.

In the caption accompanying the 1-minute-and-44-second video, Rubel wrote, “Alhamdulillah, we held the first march on the soil of Boalkhali since August 5. Greetings and welcome to Sheikh Hasina’s return.”

The video shows Rubel addressing participants before the march began. In his speech, he said, “Today, Bangladesh needs Sheikh Hasina, not Sheikh Hasina needing Bangladesh. We will bring Sheikh Hasina back and make her prime minister again. Do not harass us unnecessarily. This government will not be the last government of Bangladesh.”

He also said that leaders and activists of the Awami League, Jubo League and Chhatra League had demanded justice for the killing of police personnel and would continue to seek justice in the future.

After approximately 44 seconds of remarks, the participants are seen marching for about a minute. They chant various political slogans, including “Hasina, have no fear, we have not left the streets,” “The struggle continues and will continue,” “Sheikh Hasina’s action, direct action” and “Joy Bangla.”

A banner bearing photographs of Sheikh Fazle Shams Parash, chairman of Bangladesh Awami Jubo League; Mainul Hossain Khan Nikhil, its general secretary; Md. Didarul Islam Chowdhury, president of the Chattogram South District Jubo League; and Zahurul Islam Zahur, its general secretary, is visible in the video.

According to the video and local sources, approximately 200 people took part in the march.

The date October 20, 2026, is displayed on the video as its publication date.

Boalkhali Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Md. Mozaffar Hossain said a march had taken place in the Shakpura area. “We are collecting information about those who took part in the march. The matter is being verified, and operations are continuing,” he said.
