After the then Awami League government fell in the face of a mass uprising by students and the public on August 5, many Awami League leaders, ministers and members of parliament fled the country. Several of them have already been seen in London. Former State Minister Khalid Mahmud Chowdhury was also rumored to be in London.
According to UK Awami League sources, the UK Awami League organized a workers' meeting at a hall in East London on Sunday evening, London local time. Khalid Mahmud Chowdhury attended the event and spoke. He then distributed leaflets in various places in East London as part of a month-long program organized by the UK Awami League demanding the resignation of the interim government of Bangladesh and the withdrawal of cases filed against Awami League leaders and activists.
Jamal Khan, Joint General Secretary of the UK Jubo League, said that in addition to former State Minister Khalid Mahmud, former minister and Awami League presidium member Abdur Rahman, former State Minister Shafiqur Rahman Chowdhury and former MP Habibur Rahman attended the workers' rally at the invitation of the UK Awami League.
