Left leaders condemn article

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia committed sedition by urging the USA to interfere in Bangladesh's internal affairs through her Washington Times article, said left leaning party leaders in separate statements yesterday.
Communist Party of Bangladesh termed the article vile and shameful while Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal said the offence, for an opposition leader, was unforgivable.
At a rally in the capital's Mirpur, Workers' Party of Bangladesh President Rashed Khan Menon said the article exposed Khaleda's treachery.
Ten left leaning democratic parties, including Gono Oikya and Communist Kendro, said Khaleda, in her critique of the war crimes tribunal, used the same language Jamaat-e-Islami uses.
