Another brutal killing by BAL



Sanaullah Nur Babu killed by BAL

 Boraigram upazila chairman Sanaullah Nur Babu, also a local leader of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, was killed and 30 others, including four journalists, were seriously injured in an attack allegedly by the activists of Awami League at Bonpara in the district on Friday.


Witnesses said that a group of ruling party men, mostly activists of Chhatra League and Juba League,

had mounted the attack on a procession of upazila BNP while it was passing through Bonpara Bazar area at around 11:00am, leaving 30 people, including Sanaullah, critically injured.

Sanaullah was first taken to Natore sadar hospital and shifted to Rajshahi Medical College Hospital as his condition deteriorated. He died at around 2:00pm, police and locals said.

Witnesses said the ruling party men led by district AL leader Professor Zakir Hossain and brandishing firearms and other weapons had pounced on the activists of the BNP near Bonpara as they were marching towards the upazila headquarters to attend a scheduled rally. Sanaullah was leading the procession.

The ruling party men also assaulted four journalists of different dailies and television channels, including Bangladesh Pratidin痴 Natore correspondent Nasim Uddin, ATN Bangla cameraman Rana Ahmed and Diganta Television cameraman Limon Hossain, witnesses said. They also snatched away two TV cameras.

The AL activists also vandalised a number of vehicles during the attack, witnesses said.

Among the injured, upazila Juba Dal president Rafiq Sarder, Boraigram municipality mayor Mohammad Ishaq Ali and some others were admitted to Natore sadar hospital and different local clinics.

 Soon after the attack, upazila BNP brought out a procession in protest at the attack.

BNP leader and former state minister for land Ruhul Kuddus Talukder Dulu, who was scheduled to attend the rally as chief guest, in his instant reaction on Friday afternoon demanded immediate arrest of the attackers.

BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia has strongly condemned the killing of party activist Sanaullah Nuru Babu in Natore and termed it as the outcome of the ruling party is a blueprint to eliminate the opposition in the country.

In a statement, Khaleda Zia said that after the Awami League assumed power, its student and youth wings ・Chhatra League and Jubo League ・have become desperate under the indulgence of the government.
