'Torture' of BNP men protested
BNP Secretary General Khandaker Delwar Hossain yesterday strongly protested and condemned 'torture' on leaders and workers of the party by the members of pro-government organisations -- Bangladesh Chhatra League and Jubo League -- across the country.
Delwar in a statement expressed his grave concern over the torture on his party people and claimed that pro-government men were also 'ransacking' houses and 'looting' their shops at different districts.
The BNP leader alleged that local Jubu League men of Durgapur upazila in Netrokona attacked central BNP leader Kaiser Kamal and kept him confined on Saturday.
A number of BNP men were injured in the attack, he said adding members of Jubo League and Chhatra League set fire to shops belong to BNP supporters.
He said pro-government people have recently attacked BNP men and looted their valuables at Belkuchi in Sirajganj and at Atbaria in Pabna.
Delwar said the government has totally failed to give security to countrymen and it is rather trying to establish an autocracy. Members of the Awami League's associate bodies have created a terrible situation by adopting criminal activities across the country.
He called upon the government to take effective measures to put an end to the ongoing criminal activities by pro-government people and demanded exemplary punishment to those who attacked opposition workers.
In two separate statements, Delwar protested and condemned attacks on the residence of BNP worker Abdul Kader in Bauful upazila in Patuakhali and on Sramik Dal leader Nazrul Islam at Dhamrai by pro-government people.
