Withdraw Rajshahi SP
Left parties asks govt
Staff Correspondent
Left-leaning 11-party combine yesterday demanded immediate withdrawal of the superintendent of police (SP) of Rajshahi for 'not carrying out' the government order to arrest militant kingpin Bangla Bhai.The alliance also urged the government to ensure security of opposition leaders including 11-party's Fazle Hossain Badsha. In a letter to State Minister for Home Affairs Lutfozzaman Babar, the 11-party said SP of Rajshahi Masud Mia made no efforts to arrest the Jagrata Muslim Janata, Bangladesh (JMJB) leader even after the prime minister's directive in the wake of newspaper reports on JMJB's militant activities in the northern region. The SP seems to ignore the government press note banning the militant groups, a press release of the alliance said yesterday. The civil society of Rajshahi also submitted a memorandum to the district administration to stop such inaction of the SP but nothing was done as yet, it mentioned. Meanwhile, a JMJB letter to different newspapers threatened to kill leaders of Awami League, Jatiya Party and other opposition parties, including Fazle Hossain Badsha, unless alleged militant leader Galib and others arrested are not freed by March 24.
