Order to arrest Bangla Bhai a 'mockery'
Sarder Amjad tells Bagmara public meeting
Former minister and leader of a faction of Jatiya Party, Sardar Amjad Hossain, has said the Home Minister's order on Wednesday for arrest of 'Bangla Bhai' is a mockery as the Prime Minister's order is still "ignored".
"What is the use of this order when the Prime Minister's order is not followed", Amjad said addressing a public meeting at Bhabaniganj in Bagmara on Thursday. The meeting was organised to protest recent incidents in Bagmara.
"What is happening in our country now in the name of Islamic militant organisations was seen in Afganistan in the past. Afgan militants drove out Russians, but they could not run the country. In course of time, Americans captured the country", Amjad said.

Bagmara JP President Azaharul Haque chaired the meeting, addressee by, among others, party vice- president Shawkat Hossain Badal and general secretary Mokhlesur Rahman.
