Rescue JCD leader Firoz by 48 hours
Deadline to law enforcers
Barisal district and city units of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) at a press conference here yesterday gave a 48-hour ultimatum to the law enforcement agencies to rescue ward JCD leader Firoz Khan Kalu, abducted allegedly by plainclothes men, from Chittagong city on August 24.
The JCD leaders threatened to launch a tougher agitation programme in the city if their demand was not met by the deadline.

Khandokar Abul Hasan Limon, city BNP General Secretary advocate Kamrul Ahsan Shahin, and City JCD Joint Convener Afroza Khanam Nasrin addressed the press conference held at JCD district unit office in the morning. Kalu's mother Firoza Begum and wife Amena Akhtar Dipti were also present.
Kalu's wife had earlier alleged that plainclothes men, identifying themselves as members of the law enforcement agencies, picked him up from Chittagong Eidgah area on the night of August 24. But law enforcers denied the allegation.
Kalu, president of JCD ward No-20 unit, is also an accused in Rafsan Ahmed Jitu muder case. Jitu, president of JCD Barisal Government College unit, was hacked to death by his rivals in front of the college on March 24 this year.
Jitu's elder Rafikul Islam Tipu, organising secretary of ward-19 JCD unit, filed a murder case with Barisal Sadar Police Station the following day, accusing Kalu and 16 other JCD men. Since then, Kalu has been absconding.
