Rather, they widened the scope for militancy and terrorism by not identifying and punishing the criminals, they added. The leaders urged the Caretaker Government (CG) to take necessary steps to bring the criminals to book. The bomb blast at the CPB rally on January 20, 2001 killed Comrade Himangshu Mondol, Abdul Majid, Hashem, Biprodas and Mokter and injured over a hundred supporters.
