JSD leaders blast Ashraf over comments
Leaders of the Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal faction led by Hasanul Haq Inu, a partner of the Awami League led alliance, at a human chain formed in the city on Tuesday blasted the Awami League general secretary Syed Ashraful Islam over his comment regarding the JSD.
Ashraful Islam on Monday at a programme of Bangladesh Chhatra League at the Teacher Student Centre Auditorium said the activities of the JSD had created the grounds for the killing of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman after the war of independence.
The Dhaka City unit of the JSD (faction) formed a human chain in front of the National Press Club protesting at the death threat on party president Hasanul Haq Inu, where the party leaders asked the ruling party leaders not to make comments that could disrupt the unity of the Awami League led alliance.
Shirin Akhter, the general secretary of the party, said national leaders should not make sweeping comments that could be harmful to the unity of the AL led alliance.
The AL led alliance is working together to control militant forces and stop the series of killings in the country, she said.
She also called on the leaders not to poke at things that happened in past.
Chaired by coordinator of city JSD Mir Hossain Akhter, the central leaders of the party Anwar Hossain, Nurul Akhter, Safi Uddin Mollah and Rokonuzzaman Rokan also spoke.
Inu, also the information minister, said Tuesday evening that he was ‘fine’, in an oblique reference to Syed’s Ashraf’s comments.
‘I am fine till now,’ said the minister while leaving an iftar party hosted by the Dhaka Metropolitan Police, in reply to a query of a journalist in the wake of recent controversy about the role of his party Jatiyo Samajtantrik Dal in post liberation war area.

People of Bangladesh will have to wait for a while to see if all these talks are part of a pre-planned concert to divert people’s attention from other obvious problems.
