A delegation of Bangabandhu Lekhok-Sangbadik Forum in the United Kingdom (UK) gave a memorandum on the recent mayhem in Bangladesh to British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Thursday.
An official on behalf of the British Premier received the memorandum at the premier’s official residence at 10 Downing Street in London.
The six-member delegation of the Forum included its president Journalist Abdul Kadir Chowdhury Murad, vice-president Batirul Huq Sarder, general secretary Shah Mustafizur Rahman Belal, joint general secretary Abdul Basir and member Atiar Rasul Kiton.
Capitalizing on the recent quota reform agitation by the students in Bangladesh, a group of anti-liberation forces like Jamaat-e-Islami, a recently banned pro-Islamic political outfit, along with anti-government outfit BNP had destroyed government establishments, assassinated members of the law enforcing agencies and created a dreadful situation across the country through carrying out destructive activities.
Even the terrorists also totally damaged several government establishments including state owned broadcasting center Bangladesh Television and Metro-rail during the mayhem, according to the memorandum.
The memorandum also mentioned that although the government has no difference with the sentiment of the general students, the anti-liberation elements entered into the student’s procession and attacked a jail and led to the fleeing of several thousand prisoners, including militants.
To restore order, the government has imposed curfew.
