Electoral offenders in last 3 polls should be punished: Dr Badiul Alam "Those miscreants who have killed people, who have committed extrajudicial killings, who have oppressed and tortured others in various ways, and who have committed crimes against humanity must not be included in any political party. They must not play a role in politics anymore," he added. Cumilla Bachao Mancha organised the event to evaluate and approve ‘Dream Megacity Cumilla and AHK Satellite City’.
