Left parties put out call for hartal tomorrow

Leaders of the Communist Party of Bangladesh, Bangladesher Samajtantrik Dal and Gonotantrik Baam Morcha, an alliance of seven left-leaning parties, yesterday called upon all pro-liberation forces to repudiate the war criminals through enforcing a peaceful hartal tomorrow.
Meanwhile, different garment workers' organisations, including Garments Sramik Trade Union Kendra and Bangladesh Poshak Shilpo Sramik Federation, expressed solidarity with tomorrow's hartal.
On December 7, the three left-leaning parties called the countrywide daylong hartal for tomorrow demanding a ban on communal politics including that of Jamaat-e-Islami and ensuring quick trial of the war criminals. The demand also included the arrest and punishment of all responsible for the November 24 fire at Tazreen Fashions.
