At least 12 activists of Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal were injured after a crude bomb explodes at a rally of Hasanul Haque Inu in Bheramara upazila of Kushtia.

Blaming a faction of Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (JSD) for creating anarchy in post-independence Bangladesh, BNP today says Information Minister Hasanul Haq Inu should be brought to justice for that.

Two factions of Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal yesterday said it was the Awami League, not the JSD, which was responsible for the assassination of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia says that extortion is going on across the country in the name of ongoing crackdown on militants.

Opposing induction of JSD leader Hasanul Huq Inu as a minister, Jatiya Party lawmaker Kazi Firoz Rashid expresses his fear that the prime minister might even bring some secret killers to the parliament someday.

Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal has urged Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to stop her party’s top leader Syed Ashraful Islam from “throwing mud” for the sake of the unity of Awami League-led political combine.

Information Minister Hasanul Haq Inu was threatened with life yesterday. An unknown person sent him a shroud in a shopping bag, said a ministry official.

The Election Commission has allocated the ‘torch’ polls-sign to the Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (JSD) faction of Hasanul Haq Inu, weeks after a split in the party and tug-war over the symbol.

Despite appeals by Hasanul Haq Inu, the dissidents of the Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (JSD) stick to their decision to go on with their own faction, saying they are the "real JSD".

Three condemned killers of Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (JSD) leader Kazi Aref Ahmed are executed at Jessore Central Jail 17 years into the killing. The killers are: Safayat Hossain Habib, Anwar Hossain, and Rasedul Islam Jhantu. All were top cadres of outlawed Purbo Banglar Communist Party (PBCP-Laltu).
