Leaders and activists of the ruling Awami League have also joined the BCL rally in front of the Raju Sculpture in Dhaka University. 

They have been in position for a few hours. 

Speaking to The Business Standard, Dhaka South Ward-21 Councilor Mohammad Asaduzzaman said, "We have taken a position here so that no one can create any untoward situation. If the agitators do any activity that affects the movement of people, we will suppress it strictly. It is better if they protest peacefully, otherwise we will look into the matter."
