Inqilab Moncho has launched a seven-hour blockade programme in eight divisional cities across the country, demanding justice for the murder of the party’s spokesperson Sharif Osman Hadi.
The programme started at 2pm on Sunday.
A significant number of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) and police have been deployed in the area to prevent any untoward incident.
The announcement of the blockade programme was made by Inqilab Moncho’s Member Secretary Abdullah Al Jaber around 11:30pm on Saturday night.
He further stated, “For the last few days, we have been receiving death threats through various media. We do not fear any death. The police or any intelligence agency will not provide us security – we must ensure our own security.”
Meanwhile, on Saturday, Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Sheikh Md Sazzat Ali and Information and Broadcasting Adviser Syeda Rizwana Hasan have assured that the charge sheet in the Hadi murder case will be submitted within the next 10 days.
Shortly before this, DMP Commissioner and the Information Adviser addressed the protesters at Shahbagh, briefing them on the progress of the investigation into Hadi’s killing and mentioning the timeline for submitting the charge sheet.
However, rejecting this assurance, Inqilab Moncho demanded the charge sheet within 3 working days and the completion of the trial proceedings within 26 working days.
