March Towards The National Parliament Building To Cancel The Agreement

Protesters gather demanding the cancellation of agreements perceived as contrary to national interests, including a trade agreement with the United States, in Dhaka, Bangladesh, on April 27, 2026. The protest march begins at the National Press Club and concludes in front of the National Parliament under the banner of an anti-imperialism and anti-war alliance. Following the march, leaders and activists submit a memorandum to the Speaker of the National Parliament, calling for the cancellation of the agreement. A trade agreement signed with the United States during the final phase of the interim government led by Dr. Muhammad Yunus has sparked criticism and debate. Many economists and business leaders have described the deal as ''unequal,'' ''discriminatory,'' and a ''threat to sovereignty.'' The agreement was signed a few days before the national elections.
