Our Correspondent, Naryanganj
Jatiyatabadi Jubo Dal activists yesterday allegedly attacked a rally organised by left-leaning 11-party alliance at Chashara Central Shaheed Minar in Naryanganj protesting the death of a garment worker in police fire. A gang led by David, Faruq Ahmed and Reza attacked the rally on the occasion of Garment Workers' Solidarity Day in presence of police and Bangladesh Rifles and vandalised the stage, sources said. The ruling BNP's youth front also threatened Mahbubur Rahman Ismail, a workers' leader, at 1:00am on Tuesday and told him not to attend the rally. Speakers at the rally condemned the attack and demanded arrest of the culprits. They also demanded a judicial probe into the police fire at the BSCIC premises on November 3 and punishment to the killers. Bimal Kanti Das of Workers Party, Shahidullah Chowdhury of Sramik Karmachari Oikya Parishad, Abdullah Sarkar of Bangladesh Samajtantrik Dal and workers' leader Ismail, among others, spoke at the rally.
