At each location, the trucks stopped briefly as leaders addressed gatherings and reiterated their demand for justice.

Before ending the programme, protesters visited Hadi’s grave, where Inqilab Moncho Member Secretary Abdullah Al Jaber, along with others, offered prayers seeking eternal peace for his soul.

Addressing the rally at Shahbagh, Jaber alleged that a “full-fledged killing syndicate” and elements within state machinery were involved in Hadi’s murder.

“Our movement will continue until those responsible are brought to justice. We will not accept any charge sheet that does not name them,” he said, adding that no piece of paper can stop their struggle.

He said the platform will announce its next programme today and hinted that it could include actions aimed at forcing the law adviser or home adviser to resign.

Referring to the chief election commissioner, Jaber said they do not want anyone who terms Hadi’s killing an isolated incident to remain in office.

“Our continuous programmes will go on until the CEC comes before the public and offers an apology,” he said.

The platform’s four-point demand includes a 24-day ultimatum for completing the trial of Hadi’s killers, suspending work permits of Indian nationals in Bangladesh, filing a case against India in an international court if it refuses to repatriate convicted asylum seekers, and identifying what the platform calls “collaborators of fascists” within intelligence agencies.
