A Correspondent :
People of Saltha upazila of Faridpur are being harassed and oppressed by some intruders in the local Awami League, locals alleged.
They are often beaten and hurt while entering the district town as they staged a human chain in the area protesting propaganda against Aimon Akbor Chowdhury, President of Saltha Upazila and son of the Deputy Leader of the House Syed Sajeda Chowdhury.
The intruders, who are basically members of BNP, Jamaat and Freedom Party, now trying to oppress the Awami League leaders, the local people said adding, they became hostile against Aimon Akbor because he opposed wrongdoings, extortion and corruption committed by derailed party people.
This started centering a straw incidence when a journalist Selim Molla of local daily Bangalee Khabor went in a personal clash with some locals, which later was resolved.
But the intruders into the ruling party used this for serving their purpose of protecting the war criminal convict Khokon Razakar and their allies.
President of Faridpur Press Club, who is nephew of Khokon razakar created pressure on other media people to file stories of oppression and harassment by joining hands with anti-liberation group and intruders into AL, the locals alleged.
The people of Saltha cannot enter into the district town, even some cannot stay in their houses in the town.
Arif Hossain, Chairman of an union at Saltha-Nagarkanda told media that he cannot stay his residence at Faridpur sadar as the intruders into Awami League threaten him of killing.
