UNB, Dhaka : Some 3,000 anonymous Awami League leaders and activists have been sued for “violating emergency rules” following Monday’s rousing reception to Sheikh Hasina on the leader’s homecoming.

Police of Airport thana on Tuesday filed a case against the horde on charge of “breaking the emergency rules” through their show of support along the way from the airport to her home after the AL chief’s return from London.

Police sources said Sub-inspector of Airport Thana Shahriar Hasan filed the case against them at 9:15am under section 3 of the Emergency Power Ordinance 2007.

Thousands of people welcomed Sheikh Hasina’s return from London after 52 days’ foreign visit by chanting various slogans, as the ex-PM came home following the lifting of restriction earlier imposed by the caretaker government on her return.
