Bangladesh Reformist Party (BRP) arranged a press conference
on Thursday at the Crime Reporters Association of Bangladesh (CRAB) auditorium, Segunbagicha in the capital.
BRP Joint Convener Lion Zahid Hossain Palash presided over the press conference while Md.
Tawhidul Islam, Member Secretary of the Party presented keynote address on the occasion.
In the press conference it was alleged that the party’s Member Secretary Tawfidul Islam has
become a victim of a fabricated and harassing case just a month after the party started
providing legal aid under its "Community Protection Legal Aid" program.
Earlier the party had launched the legal aid service to face false and harassing cases filed
against people in the society who are not guilty and have no ability to face the cases. The party leaders also said that their Secretary General has been targeted by a vested quarter
who have even demanded extortion of one Crore taka from him. The leaders strongly condemned the conspiracy against him and demanded immediate legal
action against the extortionists.
Among the central leaders and activists present at the event were Secretary General Md.
Tawhidul Islam, Joint Convener Lion Zahid Hossain Palash, Joint Convener Nazmul Alam, Joint
Secretary General Dr. Nazmul Karim, and Joint Secretary General Mobarok Hossain Parvez, among others.
