Momtaz faces public outrage at M’ganj court as eggs hurled at her

Tension gripped the Manikganj court premises on Thursday as folk singer and former MP Momtaz Begum faced a hostile crowd, egg attacks, with thunderous chanting slogans demanding her execution during a court appearance.
She had been brought to Manikganj from Kashimpur Central Jail in Gazipur earlier in the day to appear before the court in several cases filed against her.
As she was being taken back to the prison van following the hearings, leaders and activists of BNP, its student front Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal and youth wing Jubo Dal, joined by locals erupted into slogans and threw eggs at the once-celebrated artiste.
