The leaders of road transport workers on Thursday extended their support to the half-day hartal called by the National Committee to Protect Oil, Gas, Mineral Resources and Port in the capital on July 3.
We are generally against hartals but we support the hartal called by the national committee to save the mineral resources of the country from being plundered by foreigners, they said.
The national committee's leaders exchanged views with the transport labour leaders at the central office of the Bangladesh Sramik Federation on Rajuk Avenue.
The senior vice-president of the federation, Abdur Rahim Baksh Dudu, chaired the meeting attended by general secretary Osman Ali, Badal Chowdhury, national committee's convener Sheikh Muha-mmd Shaheedullah, member-secretary Anu Muhammad, Ruhin Hossain Prince, Bazlur Rashid Firoz, Ragib Ahsan Munna and Mehdi Hasan.
The national committee's leaders also staged a rally near the Railgate in Khilgaon and later marched up to Basabo Bazaar and distributed leaflets to drum up support for the hartal called by it.
National committee leaders Ashraf Hossain Ashu, Zonayed Saki, Ahsan Habib Lablu, Shahidul Islam Sobuj and others took part at the programme.
