A surprise procession by the Bangladesh Chhatra League, the student wing of the Awami League, was brought out in Chattogram early Thursday.
At around 6:45am, a group of 25 to 30 followers participated in the procession.
A video circulating on social media shows the group, led by Mizanur Rahman, former vice-president of the Chattogram city Chhatra League, marching from Cheragi to the Jamalkhan crossing while chanting slogans.
The procession concluded at around 6:55am at Jamalkhan, where Mizanur Rahman delivered a brief speech.
In his speech, Mizanur Rahman said, 鈥楾his is the Bangladesh of Jananetri Sheikh Hasina. Jananetri Sheikh Hasina will return to Bangladesh for its people.鈥�

The government had earlier banned the student organisation.

The interim government officially banned the Awami League-backed student organisation, Bangladesh Chhatra League, on October 23.
