BNP affiliates stage long march towards Agartala

BRAHMANBARIA, Dec 11 (UNB): The three BNP associate organisations--Jatiyatabadi Jubo Dal, Swechchhasebak Dal, and Chhatra Dal-have staged a long march from Dhaka to Agartala in protest against Indian aggression.
The long march, which began at the capital's Nayapaltan around 9:00 am on Wednesday, reached Akhaura Land Port by 4:00 pm and ended peacefully with a brief rally there.
Speaking at the rally, Jubo Dal President Abdul Munayem Munna said BNP, together with the people of Bangladesh, will foil any plot against the country.
He warned that BNP and its associate bodies would not compromise on the issue of Bangladesh's independence and sovereignty and would resist Indian aggression through united efforts.
Munna also urged Indian politicians and media outlets to stop spreading false information and propaganda about Bangladesh.
He said they earlier staged a road march in Dhaka, and submitted a memorandum to the Indian High Commission in Dhaka in protest against recent anti-Bangladesh incidents in India and the Indian media's information terrorism. "Our protests will continue."
On the way to Akhaura, a roadside rally was also held at Bhairab intersection around 1:30 pm.
