Awami League presidium member Abdur Razzak has termed the lack of action against the hardliners responsible for Friday's violence at Baitul Mukarram Mosque "a double-faced policy of the government".

He told reporters Saturday that he held "anti-liberation elements" responsible for the incidents on Thursday and Friday.

Speaking as he came to express solidarity with a hunger-strike programme at Bangabandhu Avenue, Razzak said: "It was anti-liberation elements that desecrated the mosque, burnt the mosque carpet, looted the thana (Hathazari Police Station) but they are not being arrested.

No case is being filed." "On the other hand pro-liberation leaders and workers of Awami League have been arrested under emergency powers rules.

This is the government's double-faced policy." Jatiya Sramik League organised the hunger-strike programme to press home its demand for the release of party president Sheikh Hasina.
