UNB, Dhaka
Awami League President Sheikh Hasina yesterday condemned the harassment of her party leaders and activists by police in Faridpur by implicating them in a case of attack on a motorcade of BNP leader Kazi Siraj in Madhukhali.Hasina in a statement said Kazi Siraj joined BNP betraying the people of Boalmari-Alfadanga-Madhukhali who spontaneously obstructed the motorcade condemning his floor crossing. Describing him as an "opportunist", she said by joining BNP Kazi Siraj insulted the people who elected him. "He has betrayed them to gain his personal interest, but the people didn't accept it and resisted him while he was entering Faridpur on June 29," she said. She said the ruling party later filed a "false" case in this connection against 150 Awami League leaders and activists of Boalmari, Alfadanga and Madhukhali out of political vendetta. Hasina demanded immediate withdrawal of the "false" case and urged the government to refrain from torturing her party leaders and activists.
