At the pre-procession gathering, Chowdhury Nayab Yusuf, Joint Secretary of the Central Committee of the Women’s Wing, said, "A new leadership seems to be emerging in Bangladesh. About you, we will only say this — you led a movement for one month and five days. But BNP has been struggling to restore democracy for seventeen years. You took office just one month and five days after launching your movement. You couldn’t realize how difficult it is to endure the wrath of the government while being in the opposition."
