He said that the ruling party Awami League men are attacking BNP’s peaceful programmes in several parts in the country only for creating anarchy.

The party held the programme on protesting deaths of its three leaders, fuel oil and essentials’ price hike and transport fare rise and attacks on its

ongoing programmes in different parts of the country.
Mirza Fakhrul said, “Police killed our Jubodal and Schechchasebak dal leaders in Bhola and Jubadal leader in Narayangonj. The ruling party men attacked our programmes and injured several leaders including our national standing committee leader Begum Selima Rahman.”
