Mazharul Islam Shamim, vice-president of the central committee of the BCL, said, “If any central leader of the BCL commits a crime, the meeting of the central parliament can take organizational action against her. But the person involved in the bloody incident by beating the BCL leader at Shaheed Minar had earlier beaten another female leader. If action had been taken against him earlier, this incident would not have happened today.
