Khulna Jubo League accuses Rab of cooking up story

The leaders of Jubo League, student wing of Awami League, termed Rab actions a government blue print designed to foil the opposition's 'Dhaka siege' programme on November 22.

Addressing a press conference at Khulna Press Club, they announced a month-long programme to protest against the killing and demanding release of district unit president Kamruzzaman Jamal.

The month-long programme includes symbolic hunger strike at Shaheed Hadith Park today, human chain on November 20 and a rally in Sonadanga on December 7.

President of city unit Jubo League Anisur Rahman Poplu said the killing of their publicity secretary Babul Majumdar is extra-judicial.

The Rab claim of seizing arms from Babul and Jamal is baseless, he said, adding that no-one of them had links to outlawed parties. He demanded an impartial probe into the death of Babul and arrest of Jamal.

Meantime, Jamal has been sent to jail custody with implication of the same allegation.

RAB VERSION
The Rab said an M16 rifle was seized from three people including two Jubo League leaders on Wednesday. Accordingly, they were arrested. They were involved in gunrunning for a long time.

A special team of the Rab intelligence wing moved in disguise to buy that M16 rifle. It was settled that the weapon will be sold for Tk 3.8 lakh.

The rifle was brought only after part payment in advance, the Rab claimed.
