AL sees an evil plot

Says 14-party to face it off

Staff Correspondent
General Secretary of the ruling Awami League Syed Ashraful Islam yesterday said there is a plot to create political tension in the country, which the AL-led 14-party alliance will face with united efforts.
“We are very cautious. The alliance is determined to tackle any evil plot,” he said without specifying the plotter.
Ashraf, also LGRD and Cooperatives Minister, was briefing the press after a meeting of the 14- party at AL President Sheikh Hasina s political office at Dhanmondi with coordinator of the alliance Syeda Sajeda Chowdhury in the chair.
The meeting discussed the prevailing political situation and warned that a vested quarter is out to foil the ongoing war crimes trial.
"An evil force is conspiring at home and abroad to foil the trial," said Ashraf, who is AL's spokesperson. The alliance will go for various programmes across the country in favour of the war crimes trial, he said.
As part of the programmes, a human chain will be formed on February 7 from the Central Shaheed Minar in the capital to the National Memorial at Savar, around 30 km away.
One of the leaders present at the alliance meeting proposed forming a human chain from Teknaf to Tentulia in support of the war crimes trial. The proposal would be considered later, meeting sources said.
The AL general secretary said the meeting discussed in detail the recent plot within the army to topple the government, and congratulated the army for tackling it. The 14-party combine welcomed the army move to investigate and try those involved in the plot.
Replying to a query, Ashraf said if civilians are found involved in the plot, they would also be tried according to the existing laws of the country.
Asked about the city AL's rally rescheduled for today, coinciding with BNP's mass procession, Ashraf said the city AL is an independent unit which can take up any programmes on its own. It does not have to take permission from the party central leadership about its programmes.
He also said they do not know whether the city AL has rescheduled its rally or
not.
The meeting was attended by, among others, 14-party leaders Amir Hossain Amu, Tofail Ahmed, Abdul Jalil, Rashed Khan Menon, Hasanul Haque Inu, Mahbubul Alam Hanif, AFM Bahauddin Nasim, BM Mozammel Haque, Khalid Mahmud Chowdhury, Abdus Samad, Enamul Haque, Asit Baran Roy, Nurur Rahman Selim and Shirin Akhter.
CITY AL BRIEFING
Briefing journalists at the party central office at Bangabandu Avenue, city AL General Secretary Mofazzal Hossain Chowdhury Maya announced a two-day programme to protest "The opposition's conspiracy to create anarchy and foil the war crimes trial".
It will hold a rally at Bangabandhu Avenue at 3:00pm today, to be followed by a procession.
Maya said they have rescheduled yesterday's rally for today, and party workers' meetings and processions for tomorrow following the police ban on gatherings on Sunday.
Party workers' meetings and procession will now take place tomorrow in the city's 100 wards, 19 unions and 16 parliamentary constituencies, he added.
City AL leaders including Mukul Chowdhury, Qamrul Islam, Mohammad Selim, Aslamul Haque Aslam, and Shahe Alam Murad were present at the briefing.
JUBA LEAGUE'S
HUMAN CHAIN TODAY
Awami Juba League, an associated body of the ruling party, will form a human chain in the capital today protesting what it said was the opposition’s recent plot to topple the elected government. The human chain will be formed from Shapla Chattar at Motijheel to Shahbagh intersection from 11:00am to 1:00pm, office secretary of Juba League Fazlul HaqueAtique said.
He claimed the programme was announced from a rally on January 22.
