Addressing a press briefing at party’s Nayapaltan headquarters in the capital Rizvi said: “Take action against the ministers who use flags in their cars. If you do not do so it will prove that you are working as a private force of the government.”

Rizvi claimed the two of their activists were killed, more than hundred injured, around 450 arrested and cases were filed against more than 4000 party leaders and activists on the third day of hartal.

In a statement, Jamaat-e-Islami acting secretary general Rafiqul Islam on Tuesday called on the government employees, particularly the secretaries not to work with the ministers who resigned.

Mirza Fakhrul in a statement expressing his shock over the arson attack in the capital demanded immediate arrest of the culprits.

“It is a heinous crime against humanity,” he said. The attack bears the hallmark of killing people on a passenger bus in an arson attack in front of Sheraton Hotel.
