Awami League leaders and activists brought out a procession at Kalaroa and blocked traffic on Satkhira- Kaiganj road protesting attack on a local AL leader and demanding arrest and punishment of the culprits. Debhata upazila AL Organising Secretary Sharat Chandra Ghosh came under attack yesterday by a gang led by Abul Kalshem, Md Isha, Abdul Alim and Afasar Ali of village Sangbaria while he was returning home at the village from the upazila headquarters riding a motorcycle. Sources said the gang attacked Sharat Chandra as he did not withdraw the case filed against them allegedly for grabbing his shrimp enclosure. Local people rescued the AL leader and rushed him to Debhata Upazila Health Complex in a critical condition, hospital sources said.
