Human Wall Plan

Mercury goes up over intelligence reports

Opposition, govt face to face as Dec 11 draws near

Staff Correspondent
The mainstream opposition parlies and the government are in a face-off with the law-enforcers set to launch a crackdown on the opposition leaders and activists following so--called intelligence reports about Saturday’s human wall programme.
The intelligence agencies in three reports submitted recently warned the government of 'subversive activities' during theTeknaf-to-Tentulia human wall programme and suggested immediate steps to maintain order ahead of the agita-Jion.
The opposition parties have planned to launch bomb and gre-
nade attacks to create anarchy across the country in a bid to enforce tough agitation programmes against the government, the agencies’ reports alleged.
The police have already launched a special drive to ensure security ahead of the Saarc Summit in Dhaka. The drive is likely to be geared up by today or tomorrow in line with the intelligence reports, sources in the police administration hinted.
The law-enforcers arrested 1,454 people, including two listed criminals, on various charges from different parts of the country in 24 hours until 6:00am yesterday.

Top leaders of the opposition parties involved will meet Leader of the Opposition Sheikh Hasina tomorrow to finalise their next course of action to be announced Saturday.
The opposition will go for tougher agitation programme like hartal and blockade, if the govem-ment obstructs Saturday's programme, hinted some opposition leaders.
Top leaders of the 14 parties are now at the final stage of their tour of 18 districts to mobilise public support and ensure greater participation of the opposition activists and people in the programme.
Some of the leaders of Awami League (AL) and its allies are staying on the route of the human wall for motivating people to show their 'no-confidence' in the BNP-Jamaat led coalition government through joining the 900 km human wall.
The combined opposition leaders yesterday from two public meetings at» Comilla and Bogra urged people to join Saturday's programme and launch a vigorous movement to overthrow the government.
They will address rallies at Rangpur and Sitakunda today.
Twenty-one teams comprised of top AL. leaders yesterday started
mass contact at different places to be covered by the human wall. Key leaders of the 11-Party and Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (JSD) also started similar campaign at other places.
The front organisations of the AL, 11-Party, JSD and National Awami Party are holding rallies and meetings across the country to make programme a success.
The human wall will touch 49 upazilas of 18 districts and two metropolitan cities - Dhaka and Chittagong.
Our Chittagong office adds: Despite a fear of arrest by police, leaders of the 14 opposition parties yesterday continued campaign for the human wall programme. "Police may swoop on our activists and supporters ahead of the programme so that we cannot hold it successfully," M Salatiddin, general secretary of Cox’s Bazar unit of AL said. "But we are determined to carry out our campaign as we have planned to mobilise 1.5 lakh people from Cox's Bazar district to join the human wall." Chittagong City Mayor and Genera) Secretary of Awami League city unit ABM Mohiuddin Chowdhury said, "We hope to draw over 1 lakh people for joining the human wall." He however did not see any threat of arrest ahead of the programme.
