Fresh clash widens Jamaat-BNP rift in Satkhira |
2006-03-30 |
The BNP-Jamaat rift has widened in the district following renewed clash between the leaders and activists of the two parties. The clash erupted as the district unit of Madrasa Shikhhak Parishad, a front organisation of Jamaat-e-Islami, yesterday brought out a procession and held a meeting at Shaheed Abdur Razzak Park accusing BNP of attacking the major coalition partner. District unit general secretary of Madrasa Shikhhak Parishad Maulana Abdul Bari presided the meeting. In the meeting, the speakers demanded arrest and punishment to BNP leader Abdur Rouf, also chairman of Alipur Union Parishad (UP) for criticising Jamaat Ameer Maulana Matiur Rahman Nizami and beating madrasa teacher Maulana Abu Sayeed. Terming Rouf as 'Kafir' and godfather of criminals, they demanded his arrest and punishment. They threatened to launch a tougher agitation if the authorities failed to take action against him. |
