Punishment to criminals demanded
Ganotantrik Bam Morcha, an alliance of left leaning political parties, yesterday demanded exemplary punishments to the culprits those evicted landless people from Khas lands at Newchar under Haimchar upazila in Chandpur and Chehelgazi in Dinajpur.
The leaders of the party made the demand at a press conference at Bangladesher Samajtantrik Dal office in the city.
They said a total of 121 families of the Khas lands at Newchar who were living there for over a decade were evicted by the cadres of some 'false' big landowners and looted crops and valuables of landless people on May 7.
They also alleged that cadres also put landless people's houses on fire and beat them up.
On the other hand, some local pro-Awami League influential people evicted some 135 families from a Khas land at Chehelgazi in Dinajpur on April 19.
The leaders also demanded withdrawal of cases filed against landless people in this connection.
Coordinator of the alliance Badrul Alam read out a written speech at the press conference that was also attended by BSD Convener Khalekuzzaman, Jatiya Ganofront Coordinator Tipu Biswas, and Biplobi Workers' Party General Secretary Saiful Haq.
