People of Madaripur will demand the death of Shajahan Khan MP by hanging, said Madaripur District Awami League president Shahabuddin Ahmed Molla on Thursday.
He was speaking as the chief guest at an organisational meeting of Rajoir Poura Awami League on Thursday afternoon.
Addressing the Awami League presidium member and Madaripur-2 constituency's MP Shajahan Khan , he said, "When you (Shajahan Khan) didn't have money during the 1991 general elections, this Shahabuddin Molla provided you with money. Today you have made money. You formed a human-chain at the Jatiya Press Club premises in Dhaka hiring people where you sought my death by hanging."
"But, remember, people of Madaripur will demand your death by hanging today or tomorrow," Shahabuddin Molla said.
Urging the former shipping minister Shajahan Khan to leaders and activists, Shahabuddin Molla said, "Unrest now prevails in Madaripur over a comment of mine on Shajahan Khan's father. But, they couldn't give any reply to my comment. But, they have been harassing me at different meetings and rallies. If you think I made a mistake, you could seek redress at the Awami League's party forum. Instead of doing it, you have resorted to spreading lies against me with the help of Jamaat-Shibir and BNP workers. You'll have to seek apology to the leaders and workers of Madaripur District Awami League today or tomorrow for what you have done to me."
