TDS Desk:

Jatiya Nagorik Committee has called for the resignation of Home Adviser Lieutenant General (Retd) Jahangir Alam Chowdhury, as well as the removal of Gazipur Police Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner.

Central Organiser of the committee Adv Ali Naser Khan made the call at a protest programme at Gazipur at Saturday noon.

The anti-discrimination student movement called for the protest on Saturday at Rajbari of Gazipur. The protest is scheduled to start at 1:30pm.

At least 15 people, almost all belonging to the mobs out to vandalise and destroy any signs of the Awami League, were injured as they came under attack in Gazipur city’s Dakshinkhan area on Friday night, as Awami League activists foiled their attempt to vandalise the residence of former liberation war affairs minister Mozammel Haque. Three of the injured are in critical condition after the clash that broke out at around 10pm. The anti-discrimination student movement called for a protest after this incident.

Around 4:00am Saturday, the anti-discrimination student movement announced this programme through a post on its Facebook page.

In the post, the organisation said, “A massive protest rally will be held today (Saturday) in protest against the attack by Awami terrorists from the Mozammel-Jahangir group on the organisers of the anti-discrimination student movement in Gazipur.”
