Awami League Publicity and Publication Secretary Dr Hasan Mahmud yesterday said BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia should be arrested for creating anarchy across the country in the name of democratic movement.
“Khaleda Zia should be arrested for unleashing violence, hurling bombs in the name of movement....it is the demand of the people to arrest her and bring her to book,” he said.
Hasan Mahmud said this at a human chain in front of the National Press Club organised by Bangladesh Awami Hawkers’ League protesting country wide blockade and hartal called by BNP led 20-party alliance.
“She [Khaleda] is continuing killing people... the death of her son did not matter Khaleda Zia, her only target is to grab state power,” he added.
He urged BNP to withdraw the nationwide indefinite hartal-blockade programme during the SSC examinations.
Former state minister for home Advocate Shamsul Haque Tuku and vice- president of Bangladesh Awami Hawkers’ League Sirajul Islam also spoke, among others.
