Return Salahuddin Ahmed unhurt
Demand BNP's human chains across Cox's Bazar
The district unit of BNP yesterday organised human chains in villages, unions, upazilas, roads, bazaars, stations and towns across the district demanding return of the party's central joint secretary general Salahuddin Ahmed 'unhurt and in good health'.
Around three lakh people participated in the programme for half an hour from 11:00am, claimed district BNP president and former whip Shahjahan Chowdhury.
Speakers at the programme claimed that law enforcers earlier picked up Salahuddin Ahmed from a house at Uttara in the capital at dead of night and the BNP leader's wife Hasina Ahmed and the party's central command have enough evidence about it.
Apart from the activists of BNP and its associate organisations Jubo Dal, Chhatra Dal, Sramik Dal, Mohila Dal, and Swechchhasevak Dal, a large number of common people took part in the programme covering over 300 kilometre stretch of area, said BNP central committee member and former lawmaker Lutfor Rahman Kajal.
The human wall stretched along Cox's Bazar-Chittagong highway from Zero Point in Cox's Bazar town to Aziznagar in Chakoria upazila via Ramu upazila, to Chakoria-Pekua-Mognama ghat, from Kutubdia Lemshikhali to Ali Akbar Boli ghat, Gorak Ghata to Kalarmarchhara in Moheshkhali upazila, the main road in Cox's Bazar town, Marine Drive road, and Kalatoli to Teknaf, he said.
Shahjahan Chowdhury and Lutfor Rahman Kajal coordinated the human chain organised as part of a series programme demanding release of Salahuddin Ahmed unhurt.
