BDB to go on token hunger strike May 4

Bikolpoddhara Bangladesh (BDB) will go on a token hunger strike on May 4 in different parts of the country demanding restoration of the caretaker government system to hold the next general election under it.
BDB will go on mass hunger strike in a larger scale if the demand is not met, BDB President Prof AQM Badruddoza Chowdhury told a press conference at the capital's Jatiya Press Club yesterday.
He said political unrest has been created in the country after scrapping the caretaker government system, which may cause a civil war. Restoration of the caretaker government system can help avoid such civil war, he added.
BDB demanded that the government and BGMEA give Tk 10 lakh to each family of the deceased in the Savar tragedy and ensure treatment for the injured persons until their full recovery.
