Dhaka, Dec 10 (bdnews24.com)—The Awami League on Monday refused to take responsibility for the death of Biswajit Das amid allegations that he was killed by activists of the ruling party’s student front during Sunday’s opposition-sponsored road blockade.
At a press conference party’s Joint General Secretary Mahbub-ul Alam Hanif said the death occurred in a clash after Awami League’s celebration rally was ‘attacked’ and that the ruling party was not liable for the death.
Biswajit was beaten and stabbed to death in Old Dhaka on Sunday amid the 18-Party Alliance-sponsored blockade. Images run in dailies showed several Bangladesh Chhatra League activists attacking the youth.
Questions were thrown to Hanif over the tailoring shop owner’s death after an extended emergency meeting with the party’s fronts at Awami League President Sheikh Hasina’s political office in Dhanmondi.
At the end of the press conference, Hanif was asked, “The associate organisations of Awami League were seen active on Sunday although the party had not announced any programmes during the opposition-sponsored blockade. At the Victoria Park…”
“[You] have to understand the whole situation. We announced a rally celebrating Bangladesh’s series win against West Indies [on Sunday]. Activists of opposition parties attacked our processions in many places and bombs were also detonated which led to clashes,” Hanif said, interrupting the question.
When asked whether the Awami League was taking liability of Biswajit’s death, Hanif left the place without answering it.
According to witnesses, lawyers loyal to BNP and the Jamaat-e-Islami began a procession inside the Judge Court premises in support of the blockade on Sunday morning. Members of Jagannath University’s Chhatra League unit were cordoning off the area and shouting slogans.
At one point, running battles took place between the rival groups and several hand-bombs were reportedly exploded.
An eyewitness had told bdnews24.com up to 25 youths started beating up Biswajit shortly after the explosions.
Locals later rushed the injured Biswajit to Mitford Hospital where he was pronounced dead upon arrival.
The deceased was the owner of a tailoring shop and was on his way to the shop at Shankharibazar from his home. His relatives claimed Biswasjit had no political affiliation.

Mr. Hanif and AL will never take responsibilty for any deaths or misdeeds under any circumstances. They will always blame the opposition for everything.
The Face of Hasina’- Mujib’s BKSAL Facism
Is the murder of Bishajit an open day light barbarism by Hasina- Mujib’s Sonar Chalera? This is the murder of a minority Hindu man who must have a family.
To the AL It got to be the anti Bangladesh liberation war BNP or Jamat’s fault. Well, we know about Zia the founder of the BNP was a commander of the liberation war while Hasina was in Dhaka with her entire family fed by the Pak Army and Mujib after a great speech surrendered to be safe in Pakistan.
Our question is which is a murder? The Bishjith murder or the 1971’s fictitious Saidee war crime? What is important, in the name of secularism dealing with the past to promote pro Indian politics in Bangladesh through anarchy and intolerance in the present or become pro_ Bangladesh, love Bangladesh and seek unity in diversity in the present.
We know that Mujibbadi fascists wouldn’t understand what is good for Bangladesh. True, Bhasani’s Al was remodeled after Mujib’s muscleman ideology of Mujibad(fascism). There is nothing good left in the AL.
God save Bangladesh!
