Attack on AL MP
Half-day hartal in Jhenidah today
Awami League Jhenidah unit has called a half-day hartal in the district today protesting the attack on party MP Abdul Hye and three other leaders of its front organisations on Thursday.
Local MP Abdul Hye, Jubo League district unit president Mahmudul Islam, Chhatra League leader Bachchu and Krishak League district unit joint-secretary Krishna Pada were stabbed by a group of armed men reportedly belonging to the ruling BNP during hartal hours in the town on Thursday morning.
The anti-hartal activists swooped on two separate processions and stabbed Abdul Hye and three other leaders.

Meanwhile, Jhenidah police have so far arrested four -- Munir, Selim, Liton and Rubel -- for their alleged involvement in the attacks on AL processions.
