PM asks for immediate arrest of Ekram\\\'s killers

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has asked the law enforcement agencies for immediate arrest of the miscreants linked with the killing of Fulgazi Upazila (UZ) Parishad Chairman and local Awami League (AL) leader Ekramul Haque. She said Ekram was a young popular AL leader, who wanted to make Fulgazi UZ a modern one. Anti-liberation elements and evil forces who want to destroy AL’s organisational base through killing and terrorism might have link with the brutal killing, she said. Ekram, president of the upazila unit of AL, came under attack by miscreants in front of Bilashi Cinema Hall at Feni town on Tuesday on his way to Fulgazi from his Masterpara residence. Armed assailants intercepted his microbus and shot at him from a very close range and then set fire to the vehicle. They left the scene after confirming death of Ekram on the spot. The Prime Minister urged the people of Fulgazi and countrymen to raise their voice against such barbaric annihilation of a popular political leader, according to BSS.
