CHATTOGRAM, July 30, 2024 (BSS): City mayor Rezaul Karim Chowdhury today said the anti-liberation forces carried out atrocities across the country centering the recent quota reform movement.
 
The CCC mayor made the comment while addressing the mourning meeting, organized in memory of those killed in the quota reform movement at Chattogram City Corporation (CCC) office at Tigerpass area here.
 
Chowdhury said the anti-liberation elements with the help of local and foreign evil forces perpetrated the atrocities to foil the ongoing development endeavours of the government in disguise of the recent quota reform movement.
 
He pointed out that the mayhem was carried out by the hired men and unemployed youths in the name of quota reform movement.
 
In this connection, he said during the movement, a number of police personnel were killed and wounded and pro-liberation students were brutally beaten up and thrown from a 6-storied building in the city’s Muradpur area after cutting their tendons.    

Besides, the mayor said people's dream projects metro rail station, Setu Bhavan, Hanif flyover and BTV Bhaban were selectively damaged by the hired goons.
