Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal
A central committee meeting of Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (JSD) was held at the party headquarters in the city’s Bangabandhu Avenue on Friday. Information Minister and party President Hasanul Haq Inu was present as the chief guest. While speaking Inu said a legal framework was necessary to bring the patrons of militancy within the purview of law. He said his party had decided to launch a three-month campaign for enactment of the law. “By donning a ‘democratic hat’ Khaleda does not qualify as a democrat, rather her sponsorship and apologies for militancy was reason enough to disqualify her from the democratic club and also for prosecution,” he said. The programme was also addressed, among others, by JSD General Secretary Shirin Akhter, MP, its Executive President Advocate Rabiul Alma, Vice-President and also former Vice-Chancellor of Jahangirnagar University Prof Anwar Hossain. Inu presided over the event.
