Jatiya Party (Party) Secretary General Shamim Haider Patwary has demanded that the People’s Rights Council be banned under the Anti-Terrorism Act. He said, “Those who plan to set fire to political offices cannot be political parties. They are terrorist organizations. There is a provision to ban these organizations under the RPO Act. We think that the People’s Rights Council has fallen under that law.”
Shamim Haider Patwary made this claim while talking to reporters at the Kakrail Jatiya Party (JPA) office on Friday night.
Demanding that the People’s Rights Council be banned under the anti-terrorism law, the JPA Secretary General said, “I am demanding that the government ban them. The People’s Rights Council cannot in any way avoid responsibility for the kind of terrorist attack that took place at the Jatiya Party office today.”
Stating that the Jatiya Party has never set fire to anyone’s office, the party’s Secretary General said, “Those who plan to set fire to political offices cannot be a political party. They are terrorist organizations. There is a provision to ban these organizations under the RPO Act. We think that the Public Rights Council has fallen under that law.”
Shamim Haider Patwari said, ‘The leaders and activists of the People’s Rights Council attacked our party office today (Friday). We strongly condemn and protest against it. We think the state should take responsibility and the government should take responsibility.’
Patwari further said that no legal action is being taken against those who are creating mobs. No case is being filed against them. On the other hand, those who are speaking against the mob are being threatened with arrest. This is not how a state can function, this is how a government of a country can function and it cannot avoid responsibility.
Making a demand to the government, the JPA Secretary General said that if the government is a ruler of law and justice, then the terrorists must be arrested within 24 hours and the People’s Rights Council must be banned.
Shamim Haider welcomed the formation of a judicial investigation committee into the attack on Nurul Haque Nur. At the same time, he called for the formation of a separate judicial investigation committee into the attack on the JPA office.
