GDs Filed Against Fakhrul, Khoka


DHAKA NEWS

Dhaka, Mar 5 Two general diaries (GDs) have been filed against senior BNP leaders Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir and Sadeque Hossain Khoka apprehending harm to ministers and people in general during BNP's Mar 12 grand rally in the capital.

Two pro-Awami League lawyers, Anwar Shahadat Shawon and Sheikh Ali Ahmed, filed the GDs at Ramna and Paltan police stations, respectively, on Monday night.

DMP deputy commissioners (Ramna zone) Krishnapada Roy and Anwar Hossain (Motijheel zone) confirmed bdnews24.com about the GDs filed less than a week ahead of the main opposition's grand rally.

Amid statements and counter-statements of the ruling and opposition leaders on the proposed rally, BNP vice-chairman and Dhaka metropolitan unit convenor Khoka on Mar 2 said at a press briefing that the ministers should stay in their houses to keep away from public anger.

Party's acting secretary-general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir was also present at the briefing.

According to the GDs, the two BNP leaders warned the ministers and ruling party MPs not to get out of their houses. The BNP leaders are trying to create an unstable situation in the country by threatening the Awami League leaders, it has been alleged.

The lawyers expressed their fear in the twin GDs that attempts could be made to cause harm to the ministers, MPs, Awami League leaders and the people in general before or on Mar 12.

The GDs also requested the police to take effective steps to ensure the security of the citizens.

The main opposition is set to hold the rally on Mar 12 in front of the party's Naya Paltan headquarters demanding staging of the next parliamentary elections under a non-partisan government.

Leaders and activists of BNP and other like-minded parties from all over the country are expected to take part in the rally.

BNP have been accusing that the government is trying to foil the rally while the government has been claiming that the opposition is holding the rally as a part of their attempt to protect the war criminals.

Earlier in the day, police arrested six BNP leaders-activists from Savar and Ashulia on charges of creating anarchy in their localities ahead of the grand rally.

Police said the six were arrested from their residences in the early hours of Monday.

The arrestees are Juba Dal organising secretary of Dhamsona Union Parishad's ward-7 Taiful Islam, BNP activists Alauddin Chowdhury, Sirazul Islam, Afzal Uddin, Helal Uddin and Sumon Parvez.

Savar Model Police Sation sub-inspector Abul Hossain and Ashulia Police Station officer in-charge Sheikh Badrul Alam told  the six arrestees had earlier been sent to the court after being shown arrested in a vandalism case during a strike at Fhulbaria area.

They were now trying to create anarchy in their areas ahead of the Mar 12 rally.
