A strike has been called again demanding the expulsion of Ekram Chowdhury for calling Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader the son of a Razakar family. Companiganj Upazila Awami has called for a strike on January 31 from 6 am to 2 pm.
Basurhat Municipality Mayor Abdul Quader Mirza made the remarks at a protest rally at Basurhat Rupali Chattar in Companiganj Upazila around 7pm on Monday. He said the movement would continue till Noakhali MP Ekramul Karim Chowdhury was expelled from the party. The movement will continue as long as the nose is breathing. Besides, I used to pay a lot of respect to Khairul Anam Selim, the president of Noakhali district Awami League. He spoke to the tune of drunken Ekram Chowdhury today. He has been sold to money.
Companiganj Upazila Awami League President Muktijoddha Khizir Hayat Khan, General Secretary Nurnabi Chowdhury, Upazila Awami League Senior Co-President Iskander Haider Chowdhury Babul, Basurhat Municipality Awami League President Jamal Uddin, General Secretary Azam Pasha Chowdhury Rumel and others were present at the rally.
Quader Mirza said, "I will tell Ekram Chowdhury, you stop arming, we don't do armament politics." Today, Ekram Chowdhury's men are arming in different places of Noakhali. Thousands of Awami League leaders and activists have called for a rally in Noakhali on Tuesday to protest against the insult to Obaidul Quader. Prior to the program, many apostate leaders and activists were beaten and sent to hospitals, and terrorists carried out house-to-house attacks. The injured are fighting to the death in the hospital.
Addressing Obaidul Quader, he said, "Your people are fighting to the death in the hospital, and you are sad to hear the general secretary of the Awami League. Don't be afraid of jail. I have spent more time in jail than you. You are our role model. You are our pride, our respect for you." Yes, we will wait till Saturday, then the people of Companiganj will not respect you, will not listen to you. The people of Companiganj will continue their movement till the fall of Ekram Chowdhury. Voting was rigged in America too, the boat won in Basurhat municipality, you congratulated your brother but did not congratulate the voters, congratulations, Joynal Hazari, Alauddin Nasim, Mayor of Gazipur, Naeem Nizam, editor of Bangladesh Pratidin, Shyamal Dutta, editor of Bhorer Kagoj.
He added that there will be a strike in Kompaniganj on Sunday, January 31. All the cars and shops will be closed during the strike. Not a single bird can fly. Then a Dhaka-based program will be given, in which the country's MPs, mayors and big leaders of the Awami League will be present. A human chain program was organized in Dhaka today. 15 to 20 thousand people were supposed to be present there, Mr. Obaidul Quader stopped. Mr. General Secretary has learned to rule, not to caress.
Earlier, the Upazila Awami League withdrew its strike in Kompaniganj on Sunday. Then Abdul Quader Mirza said that the strike was called off on Sunday at the request of Awami League General Secretary and Minister for Road Transport and Bridges Obaidul Quader.
