Rajshahi Bureau

A joint press conference was held to protest against the arrest of Truck Owners Association Rajshahi District Branch and Fertilizer Association Rajshahi District Unit President Md. Abul Kalam in a false case.

On Sunday afternoon, Rajshahi District Truck Owners Association, Fertilizer Association Rajshahi District Unit, Rajshahi District BADC Dealer Association and Rajshahi District Truck Workers Union organized a joint press conference at an elite restaurant in Rajshahi city.

In a written statement at the conference, Rajshahi District BADC Dealer Association President and BNP leader Mahfuzul Hasnain Hikol said that the conspiracy of ghosts of the previous fascist government still exists. As part of that, a popular chemical fertilizer and truck transport business leader has been arrested in a false and harassing case due to the conspiracy of fascist friends who are hiding in the police administration to remove him from his post and not receive a large amount of money, which is very sad.

We have seen that the former officer-in-charge of Boalia Police Station, Mehedi Masud, intentionally included the names of 74 people who were not included in the complaint in the primary information report in the name of investigation. Which is an outward manifestation of the slavery of fascists. We strongly condemn and protest against it. The plaintiff in the case, Usama Bin Iqbal, after knowing about the false primary information report, voluntarily withdrew the complaint in the name of all those people who are not involved in the case, including Abul Kalam, and appeared at the office of the Rajshahi District Rotary Public and made an AV. Which was sent to the Boalia Police Station and RMP Police Commissioner.

Even then, detaining Abul Kalam is definitely a violation of the law. Detaining Abul Kalam is an extreme conspiracy to create instability in the truck transport and agriculture sectors of the Rajshahi region, which will lead the current government to instability. We are demanding immediate action against such conspirators in the police department from this press conference and the unconditional release of Abul Kalam, the popular leader of the Fertilizer Association and Truck Owners Association of Rajshahi.

We believe that all the web of conspiracies will be shattered through his release. Along with this, we will immediately submit a memorandum to the Deputy Commissioner of Rajshahi and the RMP Police Commissioner demanding his release. If the authorities do not take action, we will announce the program later through joint discussions.

Top leaders of Rajshahi District Truck Owners Association, Fertilizer Association Rajshahi District Unit, Rajshahi District BADC Dealers Association and Rajshahi District Truck Workers Union were present at the event.
