Our Correspondent, Manikganj
Opposition Awami League (AL) and Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (JSD-Inu) yesterday brought out separate processions and held rallies in Manikganj town as part of their countrywide anti-government agitation. AL started its procession at 11:30 am from its district office and paraded the streets. It was terminated in front of the Deputy Commissioner's, where a rally was held. Manikganj Sadar AL President Jalaluddin Ahamed presided over the rally, also addressed by, among others, district AL President Golam Mohiuddin, secretary Gazi Kamrul Huda Selim, Poura unit president Engineer Faruque, Sadar unit secretary Hasibuddin Ahammed Selim, party leaders Abdul Mojid and Dipak Ghosh, Mohila AL district secretary Laxmi Chaterji, Jubo League President Kazi Enayet Hossain Tipu, its central leader Sudev Saha and Chhatra League Joint Secretary Dewan Abdul Motin. They said the government should step down as it failed to ensure security of people's life and property. They alleged that such incidents are happening because the government is patronising criminals and religious extremists. JSD's procession from its office terminated in front of Manikganj Press Club with a rally. Addressing the rally, JSD Organising Secretary Aslam Khan Babu demanded formation of a "national government" to free the people from what he called the alliance government's misrule.
