During the pandemic, lockdown was a global reality — a lesson in endurance, discipline, and shared humanity. It taught the world to stand together through adversity. Under the prudent and compassionate leadership of the Awami League government, Bangladesh too had implemented lockdowns with remarkable success. Firm yet humane measures saved millions of lives and earned praise across the international stage.
But today, on November 13, that same word — lockdown — has returned with a new meaning, a new mission. This time, it is not for public health, but for national survival.
Dhaka stands still. The streets are silent, shops shuttered, offices half-empty, traffic sparse. Yet beneath this eerie calm lies the thunder of a nation’s heart — a collective roar against illegitimate power, a quiet uprising for justice and democracy.
Under the banner of the Awami League, the people are united. Their demand is singular and unyielding: the resignation of the illegal ruler Dr. Yunus and accountability for his blatant violation of the Constitution. The nation stands outraged by corruption, the plundering of state assets, and the subjugation of the administration into a weapon of political oppression. And as foreign interests are served at the expense of national pride, eighty percent of Bangladesh now speaks with one voice:
“No power is legitimate without the people’s vote.”
Across the land, darkness has spread — a landscape scarred by terrorism, mob violence, murders, land grabs, and fear-driven politics, all thriving under the regime’s indulgence. Farmers are denied fair prices for their harvests, workers sit hungry beside cold stoves, traders face ruin — while the ruling clique remains consumed by conspiracies to cling to power.
Meanwhile, the BNP–Jamaat alliance has once again emerged from the shadows, sowing rumors, confusion, and deceit to destabilize the nation. But the people are awake now. They know — only the Awami League, guided by Bangabandhu’s ideals, can steer Bangladesh back to justice, stability, and dignity.
Thus, this November 13 Lockdown is no ordinary political program. It is a symbol of awakening, a historic stand against oppression. Dhaka’s silent streets bear witness to a nation’s unbreakable resolve — the understanding that to save the country, tyranny must end.
Every quiet footstep on the city’s avenues echoes a single cry:
“We demand justice. We demand our rights. We demand democracy.”
This united movement of the people proves once again that Bangladesh is not a captive state — it is a free nation, a beacon of righteousness and courage.
Tonight, beneath Bangladesh’s sky, a new dawn begins to rise. This lockdown has become a movement of liberation — a nation’s united protest against unlawful power, and the first light of a new journey toward restored democracy.
