Natore arson victims reel from fresh threats

Roving Correspondent, Natore
Arson affected villagers in restive Natore still camped in the open without food and medicine amid repeated threats of violent attack from alleged BNPactivists.
The main opposition Awami League yesterday said it would send a parliamentary delegation to Shahpara village and the party's district unit took a three-day programme to protest the arson attacks on adherents' in the village after the killing of a deputy minister's nephew.
Relatives quoting the affected families said the Naldanga Police Station declined to record any case for the attacks and fresh threats.
The perpetrators, who were still looking for some AL leaders, blocked the entry of journalists, human rights activists and volun-
teers to Shahpara.
AL Secretary General Abdul Jalil told the Daily Star by phone that the party was planning to send a parliamentary delegation to the village soon and asked the district unit to put up the affected people.
"The incidents in Shahpara were barbaric and the district administration was in thrall to the BNP leaders," Jalil said.
Nearly 44 houses of AL activists were burnt down in similar arson attacks on February 7 and 10 by alleged BNP men and relatives of Deputy Minister for Land Ruhul KuddusTalukderDulu in the wake of the killing of his nephew Sabbir Ahmed Gama.
Natore AL General Secretary Hanif Ali Sheikh said party activist Fayez Uddin Shah, an arson victim, was preparing to go a Natore court after the local police declined to record his case.
He accused 'local BNP hit men' of threatening the arson victims with further violence.
Hanif said the AL district unit unveiled the three-day protest programme from Saturday that included a siege to local deputy commissioner's office and protest rallies and processions.
"If our demands are not met in three days, we'll take tougher actions including hartals," he said.
Natore district BNP General Secretary Shahidul Islam Bachhu yesterday claimed that it was not credible that police did not record the cases of arson victims.
He dismissed the allegation that BNP activists torched their rivals' houses, saying a mob carried out the attacks after the killing of Gama.
