inst the court verdicts awarding death penalty to its leaders Mir Quasem Ali and Kamaruzzaman for committing war crimes in 1971. People are fed up with the frequent hartals as the shutdown hit the country’s economy hard and affected lakhs of students across the country. Apparently, normal life in the city and elsewhere in the country remains unaffected, but due to series of hartals, economic and commercial activities are shattered, causing huge loss to the national economy. As communications are disrupted by hartals, transportation of both industrial and agricultural products are badly affected, hitting hard the farmers and industrialists. During hartal hours, no Jamaat-Shibir activists were seen in the field in support of their hartal in the capital on Monday. Common people expressed their satisfaction over the court verdict awarding death penalty to the Jamaat leaders for committing crimes against humanity in 1971. Jamaat enforced countrywide hartals for the last three days protesting the court verdict that awarded its ameer Motiur Rahman Nizami death sentence for committing crimes against humanity during the liberation war of Bangladesh in 1971. Life was normal in the capital, with no reports of untoward incidents. Hartal supporters blasted at least 10 to 12 cocktails in and around Roy Shaheb Bazar area in the city on Monday. The Shibir activists suddenly brought out a procession in support of their hartal and hurled cocktails around 11:00 am, police said. Soon, police dispersed them by firing in the air. Traffic on the roads, launch terminal and railway communications were normal, but no inter-city bus left the city during hartal period. A large number of law enforcers including police, Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) and detective police were deployed at different strategic points in the capital to maintain the law and order. BGB men were also deployed in different parts of the country, including the capital, to avert any untoward incident. Educational institutions and business establishments remained mostly closed. Government and non-government offices were open although activities were little during hartal hours in the city. On Wednesday afternoon, Jamaat-e-Islami called the countrywide hartal for Thursday, Sunday and Monday in protest against the death penalty awarded to its ameer Motiur Rahman Nizami by the ICT for committing war crimes. The announcement of the three-day shut down came, hours after the ICT awarded death sentence to Nizami for committing crimes against humanity during the country’s liberation war in 1971. It also called hartal for two more days—Wednesday and Thursday— in protest against the ICT-awarded death penalty awarded to Mir Quaasem Ali and Kamaruzzaman.
