Shahbagh protesters have called upon the countrymen to set up committees all over the country to resist terrorist activities by Jamaat-Shibir activists.

“Form terrorism prevention committees at every district, upazila, union and ward to resist Jamaat-Shibir,” said Imran H Sarker, convener of Blogger and Online Activist Network.

He came up with the call while addressing a grand rally at Shikha Chirantan at the capital’s Suhrawardy Udyan.

Shahbagh Gonojagoron Mancha organised the rally at the historical venue where Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman delivered his historical March 7 speech in 1971.

In her speech at parliament on Wednesday, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina made the same call of forming anti-terrorism committees in every ward across the country to resist Jamaat-e-Islami and its student body, Islami Chhatra Shibir.
