The pro-liberation platform brought out the procession demanding withdrawal of the law minister's comment regarding the trial of Jamaat-e-Islami. The law enforces and moncho activists locked in a scuffle when police put barricades on the road as the procession reached Doyel Chattar around 11:30am. Three people including a freedom fighter was injured in the scuffle, reports this correspondent. Injured freedom fighter Abul Kalam Azad, Chhatra union Organising Secretary Jilani Shuvo and moncho activist Aminul are being treated at Dhaka Medical College Hospital.

The government attacks us every time we declare a programme against Jamaat.” He said: “The role of the government has changed in comparison to the role they played when Ganajagaran Mancha started.” He also threatened to declare tougher programmes if the law minister does not withdraw his comment. The platform will be observing a sit-in programme at Doyel Chattar till 2pm. Shahbagh police station Office-in-Charge Shirajul Islam said: “I have stopped the procession as per orders from the higher authorities, apprehending deterioration of law and order and to avoid traffic jam.”
