Dr Kamal for immediate arrest of Bangla Bhai

STAFF CORRESPONDENT
Gono Forum President Dr Kamal Hossain yesterday demanded immediate arrest of 'Bangla Bhai', the self-styled commander of Jagrata Muslim Janata Bangladesh.
"It is very unfortunate for the nation that even the prime minister's orders to arrest Bangla Bhai go unheeded," said Dr Kamal while speaking at the thana representative council of Jatiyo Oikyamancha in the city yesterday.
Dr Kamal, also president of Jatiyo Oikyamancha, said he is ready to help the government to implement

the prime ministerial orders to arrest Bangla Bhai.
"Let us sit with the IGP (Inspector General of Police) to discuss the arrest of that notorious person (Bangla Bhai)," said the eminent jurist.
Dr Kamal also urged Prime Minister Khaleda Zia to identify the police officers who had failed to carry out her orders.
"If your orders are not taken seriously, then what will become of the commoners?" he asked.
Besides, the Oikyamancha president reiterated his allegation that the government is in clear breach of the constitution for killing people in the name of 'crossfire'.
"The constitution of the country clearly states that no person could be killed without trial, but the government does not follow that," he said adding that killing people without trial is tantamount to showing disrespect for the country's judicial system.
He blasted the government for what he said was using the police force for partisan purpose and said that the country's army too is being smeared. "The government is encouraging extra-judicial killings and army personnel are being used to that end in the form of Rab (Rapid Action Battalion)."
Dr Kamal demanded that reports of investigations into all the previous bomb and grenade blasts be made public. "If the government publishes those reports we would at least know that they are sincere," he added.
Gono Forum leaders Pankaj Bhattacharya, Mostafa Mohsin Mantu, advocate Jahirul Islam and Mafizul Islam Kamal were also present at the conference.
