RCC mayor calls for unity to combat outlaws
Staff Correspondent, Rajshahi
Rajshahi City Corporation (RCC) Mayor Mizanur Rahman Minu yesterday called upon all major political parties of Rajshahi to unite against the 'unseen terrorists' who threatened journalists with death."We are all brothers. The Awami League, BNP, Jamaat-e-Islami and Jatiya Party should unite to fight the outlaws," he said at a press conference organised on the eve of a visit by Norwegian city mayor, Jan Oddver Skisland, to Rajshahi. "You (journalists) should not be afraid, heroes are always brave, they die only once," Minu said. "We will definitely find out the culprits who were threatening from behind the scene." The Rab (Rapid Action Battalion) is likely to reach the city on March 7 and they will clamp down against the miscreants, he said. Outlaws of the Purbo Banglar Communist Party threatened 11 Rajshahi journalists with death through a letter on February 8. Sources said that outlaws also gave similar threat on the life of the Rajshahi mayor a week before.
