Mayor Atiqul Islam said that on August 21, 2004, IV Rahman died while undergoing treatment after being seriously injured in a barbaric grenade attack. This barbaric attack was planned under the auspices of the then ruling party. That cannot be the language of any politics, cannot be a political etiquette.
He said that the then ruling party BNP launched this infernal grenade attack to kill Bangabandhu's daughter Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in August 2004, the mourning month of August 2004, just as the assassins killed Bangabandhu and his family. BNP planned this attack to wipe out Awami League including Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. There can never be fair politics by killing people.
The DNCC mayor urged to bring back those involved in the barbaric attacks of August 15, 1975 and August 21, 2004 and implement the verdict quickly.
