The Bangladesh Jatiotabadi Ainjibi Forum (BJAF), being closely aligned with the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), plays a role in the political activities of the opposition, including street movements. Their contributions in these movements against what they perceive as the "fascism" of the Sheikh Hasina government generally manifest in the following ways:  

Providing Legal Expertise and Support:

·       BJAF members often provide legal counsel and support to BNP activists and leaders who face legal challenges arising from their participation in street protests and political activities.

·       They may assist in filing legal petitions, challenging arrests, and representing individuals in court.

Participating in Rallies and Protests:

·       BJAF members actively participate in street rallies, demonstrations, and other forms of protest organized by the BNP and its allied parties.

·       Their presence adds a layer of legal and professional authority to these movements.

Issuing Legal Statements and Condemnations:

·       BJAF often issues public statements and condemnations of government actions that they consider to be violations of the rule of law or acts of political repression.  

·       These statements aim to raise public awareness and mobilize support for the opposition's cause.

Contributing to Legal Challenges:

·       BJAF lawyers contribute to legal challenges against government actions, such as challenging the legality of arrests, restrictions on protests, and other measures they deem to be politically motivated.

Raising awareness of alleged judicial bias:

BJAF members have been very vocal in their claims that the judicial system is being manipulated by the ruling party. Therefore they participate in movements that are meant to bring attention to this issue.

 In essence, BJAF's involvement in street movements combines legal expertise with active participation in public demonstrations, aiming to exert pressure on the government and advocate for their political objectives.
