Muktijuddher Chetona Mancha

A discussion on anti-militancy and anti-terrorism organised by Muktijudhher Chetona Mancha (Spirit of the Liberation War Platform) was held at the Institute of Diploma Engineers, Bangladesh in the city’s Kakrail recently. Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal President and Information Minister Hasanul Haq Inu was present as the chief guest. While speaking Inu said the BNP and its Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia’s name have been left out from the national unity for its connection with militants, Jamaat and war criminals. “All people of the country, except patrons of militants and their allies, are united under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to fight militancy,” he added. The minister said, “Gulshan and Sholakia attack is not an isolated incident, it is related with the 1971, 1975, 21 August, violence of the Hefajat and the arson attacks. Khaleda and BNP are their political allies.” The programme was also addressed, among others, by State Minister for Labour and Employment M Mujibul Haque Chunnu, MP, and Dr M Enamur Rahman, MP. President of the organisation and Shipping Minister Shajahan Khan, MP, presided over the function.
