Nine professional organisations yesterday urged the voters of constituency of Dhaka-17 in the city to reject former president Hossain Mohammad Ershad in the election as he killed many people including Dr Milon, Noor Hossain and Moyejuddin during his nine years of autocratic rule.

The organisations made the call from a human chain formed at Kakali Bus Stand to Gulshan-1 where they exhibited posters and placards with different slogans inscribed on the posters.

Former BMA president Prof MA Mazed, Engineer Mahmudur Rahman, Dr Harun Al Rashid and Advocate Sanaullah, among others, joined the human chain.

Bangladesh Medical Association, Association of Engineers Bangladesh, Shikhak carmachari Oikya Parishad, Agriculturist Association of Bangladesh and Bangladesh Combined Diploma Nurses Association are the main participant organisations in the human chain.
