Meeting with BNP

On 5 January 2026, DUF leaders met BNP acting chairman Tarique Rahman in Gulshan after expressing condolences for Khaleda Zia. They discussed the political situation and the upcoming election, with both sides emphasising the importance of the Bangladesh Liberation War. DUF leaders urged the BNP to prevent groups that opposed the Liberation War and independence of Bangladesh from gaining influence. They also accused the Awami League of exploiting the Liberation War for political gain. They added that they would remain critical if the BNP returned to power.^[8][9]

Opposition to foreign leasing of Chittagong Port

The DUF and allied left‑wing groups led protests and strikes against proposals to lease the New Mooring Container Terminal (NCT) at Chittagong Port to foreign operators, because it threatened national sovereignty, security, and a valuable state asset.^{[10][11][12][13]}

In a rally at the National Press Club chaired by Bazlur Rashid Firoz and attended by leaders from the DUF, protesters demanded an immediate halt to leasing, cancellation of related agreements for terminals such as Laldiachar and Pangao, and nationwide resistance to the imperialist encroachment.^[10][12]

They warned that leasing the port adjacent to naval, refinery, and airport facilities to firms like DP World posed a security risk by allowing foreign naval access and regional surveillance.^[10][14]

They said the NCT is a profitable, domestically funded terminal that generates substantial revenue and should not be handed to foreign firms. The campaign also linked the issue to wider criticism of the interim government for alleged secret deals with the United States, economic mismanagement, and failures on labour and inequality issues, and called for united resistance.^[10][15]
