Aug 21 case not political issue: Suranjit

The chairman of the parliamentary standing committee on law, justice and parliamentary affairs, Suarnjit Sengupta, MP, has said the BNP should not make any comment on a sub-judice matter like the charge sheet of August 21 grenade attack case.

'The August 21 case is not a political issue. It's now a matter with the court,' he said while addressing a discussion at Dhaka Reporters Unity in Dhaka on Monday

Bangabandhu Sangskritik Jote organised the discussion marking the death anniversary of Ivy Rahman, wife president Md Zillur Rahman. Organisation general secretary Tarana Halim presided over the discussion.

Among others, AL presidium member Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir, cultural personality Syed Hasan Imam, Nasima Akhter Labu and Abdul Hye Kanu spoke on the occasion.

'If you have anything to say on August 21 case, you better go to court,' Suranjit urged the main opposition.

Blasting the BNP-Jamaat government for its 'misrule', he said the then BNP government used grenades, that are used only in battlefield to face the opponent, to eliminate the AL leadership forever. 'Many people from the administration and military were involved in the attacks,' he said.

Suranjit, also a member of Awami League Advisory Council, alleged that the then home minister, political secretary to the prime minister, former PM's son Tarique Rahman, some members of intelligence agencies and police were involved in the heinous grenade attacks that claimed 24 lives and injured 300 others on Bangabandhu Avenue.
