Punish killers, demand Biharis

Thursday, 19 June 2014


Leaders of 'stranded Pakistanis' in Bangladesh have flaunted electoral rolls containing their names to assert their citizenship in a memorandum submitted to the state minister for home, seeking punishment for the perpetrators of the Kalshi killings. Five days after the violence at Kalshi at Pallabi in the city, that left 10 people killed, ten leaders of the Urdu Speaking People's Youth Rehabilitation Movement met Assaduzzaman Khan Kamal at the Secretariat on Wednesday afternoon and handed him the memorandum. They promised the minister they will not put up road blockades anymore and shift from their earlier path of agitation adopted at the Mirpur and Mohammadpur camps, where the stranded Pakistanis are housed. Dhaka City Police Commissioner Benazir Ahmed, too, was present at the meeting, according to bdnews24.com.
