Minister in B'baria: Local AL to enforce hartal in Bijoynagar on Sunday
Bijoynagar upazlia Awami League yesterday called a daylong hartal in the upazila for Sunday to prevent Fisheries and Livestock Minister Sayedul Hoque from joining a programme.
Upazila AL President Zahirul Islam Bhuiyan announced the strike decision at a press conference at Bijoynagar Upazila Parishad.
The minister, also an AL lawmaker from Brahmanbaria-1, arrived in Ashuganj yesterday on a four-day visit to his district. He spoke at a meeting of local AL.
Sayedul is scheduled to inaugurate the Animal Resources Office building in Bijoynagar at 10:00am on Sunday.
Speaking at the press conference, Bijoynagar upazila AL leaders said they would boycott the minister's programme.
The leaders alleged that the minister was going to officially open the building without informing them.
The district AL leaders have been at loggerheads with the minister over union parishad elections.
