Accusing the ruling party of atrocities against its leaders and activists, BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia has said that the Awami League's atrocities will be forgiven if it comes to power.

He said this while speaking as the chief guest at a public meeting organized by BNP at Suhrawadi Udyan in Rajadhani on Sunday, marking November 7.

He entered the public meeting venue at around 3:20 pm on Sunday. At that time, leaders and activists welcomed him with various slogans. BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir is presiding over the rally.

The BNP Chairperson also alleged that leaders and activists were prevented from attending the rally. She said that the government has shown its small-mindedness through this act.

Addressing the Election Commission, he said, "It is the responsibility of the Election Commission to conduct free and fair elections. The EC cannot tolerate any wrongdoing in the elections. Elections should be held under a non-partisan government, with the army shut down and EVMs banned."

He also said, 'Even the army needs to be empowered so that they can work.'
And if the army is not given, the ruling party will occupy the center and oppress the people. They will steal votes.’

Earlier, leaders and activists from various wards and areas of Dhaka and its surroundings had taken up positions at Suhrawardy Udyan in a procession since morning to join the public meeting. The formalities of the public meeting began at around 1:45 pm with the recitation of the Quran.

Hasan Mahmud is the only cricketer from Lakshmipur who is currently playing for the Bangladesh Under-19 team in the Asia Cup in Malaysia. He had previously played with good reputation in all age-based games. We, the people of Lakshmipur, are happy for his success. We congratulate him on playing for Lakshmipur.

He can bring fame to the country by playing well and can go far, so I ask the people of Lakshmipur and the countrymen to pray for him.

Lakshmipur: Today is the terrible 12th of November. This day is a terrible day for the coastal areas. On this day in 1970, a devastating cyclone and tidal wave swept over the Ramgati of Lakshmipur, an island district, causing widespread loss of life and destruction.
The coastal towns were reduced to rubble in a procession of bodies. In this terrible disaster in history, the coastal areas of Ramgati and the present Kamalnagar upazila of the district were devastated. About 50,000 people lost their lives. The strong current of the Meghna River swept away many important structures including cattle, houses, educational institutions. Many towns including the embankments of the two upazilas were destroyed. As far as the eye could see, there were only dead bodies all around.
The dead could not be buried due to the 8 to 10 feet of water. Many families were wiped out, including 10-15 people from the same family, during the devastating cyclone. Those people who lost their relatives have not yet forgotten the devastation 47 years ago. People in the coastal areas look on in shock, remembering those terrible days. Many who lost everything at that time have not yet been able to recover.
Eyewitnesses said that 60 percent of the people, cows, buffaloes, trees, etc. were swept away by the cyclone at that time. 7 to 8 people from one family were swept away by the water. Boat launches could not operate in the river due to the pile of bodies.
Meanwhile, local coastal residents have demanded that the day be declared as Coastal Day nationally. In the meantime, people in coastal areas have made preparations to celebrate the day as Coastal Day in various places.

Employees of government, semi-government or autonomous organizations have been instructed to submit their tax returns by November 30. Otherwise, they will have to apply for an extension of time. But if neither of the two is done, the salary allowance of that employee will be automatically stopped. In this regard, the Expenditure Management Department-1 (Income Tax Assessment Cell) of the Central Bank has issued an office order. The order states that November 30 is the National Income Tax Day. And the Central Bank has requested to submit the number of the income tax return receipt letter and the date of submission of the return within seven working days of that date. However, if the return cannot be submitted by the tax day, it has been asked to submit the late filing approval number, circle number and tax zone information. It has also been informed that if this order is not complied with, the salary allowance of the concerned person will be automatically stopped from next December.

National Board of Revenue (NBR) sources said that on November 24 last year, the NBR made income tax returns mandatory for taxable employees working in government, semi-government or autonomous organizations. And from this year, it has been made mandatory for private employees to submit annual income tax returns or returns. Whether they have taxable income or not, they will have to submit their tax returns. The NBR will even check whether they have submitted their returns correctly. Tax officials will also scrutinize the accounting of the December salary expenses of the organization in which the taxpayer works. Meanwhile, in the last fiscal year, it was made mandatory to obtain a Tax Identification Number (TIN) for salaried employees employed in executive or management positions in business or profession. As a result, more than seven lakh such private employees took TIN last time. This year, it has been made mandatory for them to file their returns. So this time, many will submit their income tax returns for the first time. All income and expenses incurred between July 2016 and June this year must be included in the income tax return. On the other hand, if you do not obtain a TIN certificate or submit a return, you will not be able to show the salary and allowances you received from the organization as your own expenses.

তিনি বলেছেন, প্রধান বিচারপতির পদ থেকে সুরেন্দ্র কুমার সিনহা’র পতদ্যাগ পত্র আমরা গ্রহণ করেছি।

বিষয়টি নিয়ে নানামুখী জল্পনা তৈরি হয়। আইনমন্ত্রী আনিসুল হক এবং আওয়ামী লীগের সাধারণ সম্পাদক ওবায়দুল কাদের এ বিষয়ে কিছু জানেন না বলে মন্তব্য করেন।

পরে পররাষ্ট্র মন্ত্রণালয়ের একটি নির্ভরযোগ্য সূত্র জানায়, সিঙ্গাপুরে যাত্রাবিরতিকালে শুক্রবার হাইকমিশনে পদত্যাগপত্র পৌছে দেন সুরেন্দ্র কুমার সিনহা। তবে পদত্যাগ পত্রে তিনি কি লিখেছেন তা জানা যায়নি।

এর আগে গত ২ অক্টোবর এক মাস ছুটির কথা জানিয়ে রাষ্ট্রপতি বরাবর চিঠি পাঠান প্রধান বিচারপতি। ওই ছুটির মেয়াদ ছিল ১ নভেম্বর পর্যন্ত। পরে তিনি ১০ নভেম্বর পর্যন্ত ছুটিতে থাকার ইচ্ছা পোষণ করে আইন মন্ত্রণালয়ে চিঠি দিয়ে প্রয়োজনীয় পদক্ষেপ নিতে বলেন।

এর ধারাবাহিকতায় গত ১২ অক্টোবর প্রজ্ঞাপনও জারি করে আইন মন্ত্রণালয়। আসছে ফেব্রুয়ারিতে প্রধান বিচারপতির পদ থেকে সুরেন্দ্র কুমার সিনহার অবসরে যাওয়ার কথা ছিলো।
