Local units of Bangladesh Awami League and its front organisations staged sit-in-demonstration along with agitation, procession and rally in protest against the current nationwide destructive activities and vandalism. Large number of leaders and workers of the party took position at Shaheb Bazar Zero Point this noon and held the agitation meeting vehemently protesting the anti-nation conspiracy, anarchy and violence. Mayor of Rajshahi City Corporation AHM Khairuzzaman Liton addressed the meeting as the chief guest saying that they will not allow anyone to destabilize the peaceful Rajshahi. He also mentioned that there is no justification of students' movement at present as the government has already accepted the demand of quota reformation and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has invited the agitating students to discuss their existing nine-point demands. "We are staging sit-in-demonstrations and holding protest meetings here peacefully but if anyone tries to hinder us they will have to bear liabil ity for their misdeeds," he added. He said the quota movement is not controlled by the protesters. So the ruling party men are ready to resist them, he added. Mayor Liton, who is also Presidium Member of the Awami League (AL), urged all the peace-loving people and the party leaders and workers to remain alert so that none can dare to create any violence and anarchy. City Unit President Muhammad Ali Kamal, District Unit President Anil Kumar Sarker, Muhammad Asaduzzaman, MP, City Unit General Secretary Dablu Sarker and its Vice-president Dr Tabibur Rahman Sheikh also spoke on the occasion.
