Ctg mob burns Pak flag
[Bangla Daily Star] A section of people set a Pak flag alight while demonstrating in Chittagong city this afternoon in protest against the country's reaction to the execution of Jamaat leader Abdul Quader Mollah.Around 150 people from all walks of life under the banner of "Jege Otho Bangladesh", a pro-liberation organization, held a rally in front of Chittagong Press Club where social and cultural activists, local politicians and many other like-minded people took part. After the rally, they went to Cheragi Pahar intersection in procession around 1:00pm and burnt a flag and an effigy of a structure draped in Pakistain cricket team's jersey. While addressing the rally, the speakers said people cannot accept Pakistain's interference in Bangladesh's domestic affairs. They termed the interference as a threat to the nation. Since execution of Mollah on Thursday, Pakistain drew flak for its reaction over the hanging of war criminal Mollah. As part of its reaction, the Pakistain National Assembly Monday adopted a resolution expressing concern over the execution of Mollah who, it said, was "hanged for supporting Pakistain in 1971″.
