Home Minister should resign: Nirmul body

‘Saturday’s hartal was terror-enforced’

By Staff Correspondent
Senior leaders of the Ekat-torer Ghatak-Dalal Nirmul Committee dismissed Satur day's hartal as a "terror-enforced and police-aided" one, and reiterated demands for the resignation of the Minister of Home Affairs.
Speaking to reporters in the Nirmul Committee's central office at Topkhana Road Saturday evening, Col (retd) Kazi Nuruzzaman, Bir Uttam, said Sunday's dawn-to-dusk hartal called by the National Coordination Committee would be a "spontaneous one and we would not resort to any terror tactics, like the ones we saw today".
Col Nuruzzaman said he did not regard the Jattya Jubo Command which called Saturday's hartal, as a threat to the movement to Implement the Mar 26 People's Court verdict against Pakistani citizen and Jamaat-e-Isiami leader Golam Azam.
The Jubo Command is a front of the Freedom Party, Islam! Chhatra Shlbir etc and it has the encouragement of the government behind It. They have no support from the people. They enforced their hartal through terror tactics with help from the police",
Nuruzzaman said.
Nuruzzaman, a Sector Commander In the War of Liberation of 1971, pointed out that armed activists of Shlbir and the Jubo Command attacked the Nirmul Committee's June 18 public meeting "under the noses of the police on duty".
"They came out of the Baitul Mukarram mosque with weapons, went through the police and attacked our meeting. The police did not move, not even when the gangs went back behind them. Police officers said they did not have any orders to intervene", Nuruzzaman explained.
He further claimed that Nirmul Committee volunteers were being harassed all over the country by police and administration. Even when injured Nirmul Committee members went to police stations to file cases, they refused to listen, he said, adding that these kinds of harassment could only be done with "signals from the top".
Shahrccr Kabir, another member of the Nirmul body and the Executive Editor of weekly Bichitra, said withdrawal of the cases was Just See
one of their demands, and that 'implementation of the verdict against Golam Azam is the main demand'
The 24. who include Jaha-nara Imam, Dr Anisuszaman, playwright Syed Shamsul Haq. Gaziul Haq among others, are accused of sedition and challenging the judiciary of the country by holding the People's Court, which found Azam •guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity" committed In 1971.
The People's Court suggested that Azam's crimes were punishable by death under the penal code of Bangladesh
