Online Desk: Khelafat Majlis has called on the government to take strict measures against the activities of the fallen fascist forces and their associates, expressing deep concern over what it described as renewed attempts by the fugitive Awami League forces to create instability across the country.

At a weekly meeting of the party`s Central Executive Committee, its leaders said the forces had recently resurfaced and were carrying out acts of sabotage in different parts of the country. They referred to incidents of arson involving several vehicles and the residence of an NCP female MP, as well as attacks on July fighters.

They also alleged that attempts were being made to destabilise the country by misleading small sections of hill communities, minority groups and garment workers. However, the leaders said patriotic people remained alert and asserted that fascism would never return to Bangladesh, regardless of such attempts.

The meeting called on the government and law enforcement agencies to take strict action against the fallen fascist forces and their associates. It also demanded speedy completion of the trials in cases against Awami League leaders and activists and necessary government measures to implement verdicts against convicted criminals.

The leaders further stressed the need to ensure public security and bring the prices of essential commodities, electricity and gas cylinders within people`s purchasing capacity.

The weekly meeting was held at the party`s central office in Paltan at 7:00pm on Wednesday, with Naeb-e-Ameer Maulana Ahmad Ali Qasemi in the chair and Secretary General Dr Ahmad Abdul Qader conducting the proceedings.
