BNP and its various affiliates in Mongla, Bagerhat, have protested against the leak of an intimate video of a teenager with the current MP of Satkhira-4 constituency, Gazi Nazrul Islam. At that time, they showed hatred towards Gazi Nazrul Islam, spat on him, and burned effigies.

A protest meeting was held in front of Mongla Municipality today, Wednesday, July 2,2 at 12 noon. BNP and its affiliated organizations’ female and male leaders and activists from all walks of life participated in it. The protest meeting was organized under the banner of ‘Conscious Citizen Society’.

Local leaders including Mongla Upazila BNP General Secretary Abu Hossain Poni, Municipal BNP Organizing Secretary Golam Noor Joni, and Municipal Jubo Dal Convener Abul Kashem spoke at the protest meeting.

Mongla Upazila BNP General Secretary Abu Hossain Poni said, “The people of Bengal have seen the anti-social activities that Jamaat MP Gazi Nazrul was involved in. Such activities have affected our personality as Muslims. We strongly condemn and protest against such activities.”

Other speakers said that the way Jamaat-e-Islami tortured women in 1971, they still have not been able to come out of that heinous mentality. Using the name of religion, they are still committing crimes like torture and rape against women.

The speakers strongly protested against such actions by MP Gazi Nazrul Islam.

After the protest meeting, angry activists burned an effigy of the Jamaat leader and spat on it to protest the incident.
