Protest has erupted after Noakhali-4 lawmaker Ekramul Karim Chowdhury alleged that the party general secretary Obaidul Quader belongs to a Razakar family. Ekramul Karim, also district unit AL general secretary, made the comment early Friday while speaking on a Facebook live. He, later, removed the short video from his page but the clip already then went viral. Bosurhat Municipal AL and its associated bodies brought out a procession and held protest rally at Bashurhat Bazar in Companiganj upazila around 7pm on Friday. Abdul Quader Mirza, younger brother of Obaidul Quader and the mayor-elect of Basurhat municipality, in the rally demanded expulsion of Ekramul Karim and dissolution of the current committee of district AL. He threatened that the protest rally will be continued until the demands are met. HIR/ALM/TF |
