Bangabandhu Sangskritik Jote :
A meeting organised by Bangabandhu Sangskritik Jote (BSJ) was held at the Jatiya Press Club (JPC) on 18th instant. Publicity and Publication Affairs Secretary of the Awami League (AL) Dr Hasan Mahmud was present as the chief guest. While speaking Hasan urged the BNP leaders to refrain from threatening the people and the court in the name of the election-time government. He was replying to the BNP’s claim that no election would be held in the country without participation of Begum Khaleda Zia. Announcing that election would not be held in the country without participation of BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia would tantamount to the threat to the court and the people of the country, said Mahmud. BNP’s such announcement, he said, created mental pressure on the judges. The announcement is aimed at issuing threats to throw ‘petrol bomb’ again on the people, he added. Mahmud said the election will be held under the Election Commission and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will head the election-time government. The programme was also addressed, among others, by BSJ Vice-President Foyez Uddin Mia, Dany Sidak and General Secretary Falguni Hamid. BSJ President and also film actor Akbar Hossain Pathan Faruque presided over the function.
