The youth wing of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami held a motorcycle showdown in Chattogram city to resist the activities of Chhatra League, the associate organisation of the banned Awami League, and to protest arson and violence carried out in the name of a blockade.

The motorcycle rally started at around 10:30am on Tuesday (10 November) from Bahaddarhat intersection in the city. Led by Muhammad Shamsuzzaman Helali, president of the youth wing's Chattogram metropolitan unit, the rally moved through various important roads of the city and ended in front of the Chattogram Press Club in the Jamal Khan area.

More than a hundred motorcycles took part in the rally. During the rally, participants chanted various slogans protesting arson, violence and anarchy in the name of a blockade.

Also present at the rally were Muhammad Shafiul Alam, vice-president of the youth wing's Chattogram metropolitan unit, secretary A N M Jobayer, and leaders and activists from different levels of the organisation.

After the rally, Muhammad Shamsuzzaman Helali said endangering the lives, property and public safety of ordinary people in the name of a political programme is in no way acceptable.

He called on all concerned to play a responsible role in ensuring the normal life and safety of the city's residents.
