Shibir calls hartal in Rajshahi, Rangpur divisions for Wednesday
Islami Chhatra Shibir has called a dawn-to-dusk shutdown (hartal) in Rajshahi and Rangpur divisions for Wednesday demanding immediate release of party President Delwar Hossain who was arrested from the capital on Sunday.
HSC and its equivalent examinations will remain out of the purview of the hartal, our correspondents reported.
Delwar is a former president of Rajshahi University unit of Shibir.
Shibir sent an unsigned e-mail to local reporters in Rajshahi on Tuesday informing that it will observe a daylong hartal in the division.
In the e-mail, Shibir, the student wing of Jamaat-e-Islami threatened to wage a tougher movement if Delwar is not released immediately.
"We called the hartal in Rangpur division demanding immediate release of our party chief," said Mostaque Ahmed, president of Shibir Rangpur city unit.
