Police club Jubo League procession
Over a dozen leaders and workers of Awami Jubo League were injured as police used batons to disperse a procession at Bangabandhu Avenue yesterday.
The Jubo League tried to bring out the procession after a rally to protest the price hike of essentials at about 11:00am.
Addressing the rally, Jubo League Chairman Jahangir Kabir Nanak demanded immediate resignation of the government for its failure in combating the abnormal price spiral.
"Price hike of essentials has been causing untold sufferings to the commoners, but the alliance government is totally indifferent to it," he said.
The Jubo League will stage demonstrations at ward level in the city today and at Thana and District level tomorrow protesting the police action.
