DHAKA, Aug 2, 2025 (BSS) – Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal will hold a student rally at Shahbagh in the capital tomorrow. 

The organization has expressed regret over the inconvenience to be caused to citizens in the capital due to the rally, said a statement of JCD.

It said last June, JCD announced its decision to hold a rally at the Central Shaheed Minar on August 3 during the announcement of its 36-day programme commemorating the July Uprising. 

But later, the leaders of the National Citizen Party personally contacted JCD leaders several times and requested to shift the programme from Shaheed Minar as NCP will hold a programme there on August 3.

JCD said they also took permission from the Proctor's Office of Dhaka University regarding the rally at the Shaheed Minar. 

JCD was the only legitimate claimant to hold a rally at the Shaheed Minar on this day.

 But later, as a liberal, democratic, tolerant student organization that believes in the coexistence of all views and paths, JCD changed its decision to shift the programme to Shahbagh.

The statement said JCD expressed its deepest regret for any kind of public suffering tomorrow. 

“We hope that the city residents will consider the matter with sympathy,” the statement reads.
