Mahmudur Rahman, former acting editor of Amar Desh, today (6 October) issued a seven-day ultimatum demanding a ban on Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL), the student wing of Bangladesh Awami League.
"Bangladesh Chhatra League must be banned as a terrorist organisation within seven days. We are giving a seven-day ultimatum from the Amar Desh newspaper family and journalist platform. If no action is taken within this deadline, strong movement will be staged on the road," he said at a programme held at the National Press Club.
"Chhatra League was involved in every crime that happened in the last 16 years. Even the members of organisation killed thousands of students and mass people during the anti-discrimination movement," he said.
