'Killing by Crossfire'

AL threatens vigorous agitation

Staff Correspondent
Awami League (AL) yesterday threatened t|o launch vigorous agitation if the government fails to bring the killers of its leader Mofizul Islam alias Dudh Mian to justice, and tries to rig the Chittagong Mayoral polls being held today.
Dudh Mian, a joint-convenor of Meghna upazila AH was killed in a ’crossfire’ by Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) at Keraniganj on May 3. Addressing a rally at Muktangon in the city, the AL leaders termed the killing of Dudh Mian a part of BNP-Jamaat government’s blueprint to kill AL leaders and cling to power permanently.
The AL city unit organised the rally to protest the killing of Dudh Mian and other leaders.
The AL leaders blasted the government for forming the Rab and said the killings by Rab are clear violation of human rights and constitution.
AL General Secretary Abdul Jalil urged all lawyers to take the Issue of political killings by Rab to the court in next seven days.
He demanded trial of the Rab members and said, "We want punishment to the criminals, but not the political killings being commit--ted one after another by the Rab.”
Jalil alleged that the government has generated 'state terrorism' by forming different agencies like Rab, Chitah, and Cobra.
AL presidium member Abdur Razzak said Rab arrested Dudh Mian from the court premises when he went to appear before the court, and killed him in a jungle at Keraniganj showing that Mian had arms with him.
"This is a wholesale lie,” he said, adding that 16 cases were filed against Dudh Mian after the four-party alliance came to power in 2001.
Referring to the CCC polls, Razzak said. "We have heard that the BNP Is trying to change its result knowing that AL candidate ABM Mohiuddin Chowdhury is going to win it.
"We got information that the BNP has separately printed 60 thousand ballot papers and threatened the religious minorities in a bid to rig the polls,” said AL presidium member Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir.
He warned that Dhaka and Chittagong would be shut down by continuous hartals if any such incidentsoccur.
Presided over by AL City Unit President Md Hanif, the rally was also addressed by Advocate Based Majumdar, Omar/Mi, Kamal/Mimed Majumdar, Sheikh Fazlur Rahman, Advocate Quamrul Islam, Haji Md Selim, Mukul Chowdhury and Sheikh Fazlul Karim.
