During the rally, they also placed a memorandum with an 8-point demand to the Chief Adviser.
Addressing the rally Hasnat Kaiyum, said, "64% of people in Bangladesh are landless. Still, at least 70% of the population is engaged in agriculture or agriculture-related professions. Marginalised people have played the most significant role in various movements."
