Meanwhile, strongly condemning the killing of MP Liton, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina asked the law enforcement agencies to bring the killers to book.

Hasina said the vested quarter killed Liton following &quot;the path of their politics of killing&quot;.

Leaders and activists of local AL and its associate bodies demonstrated at several places in Gaibandha and Sundarganj upazila last night.

Blocking the railway lines at Bamondanga Railway Station, they demanded the attackers` arrest and punishment.

Liton had drawn widespread flak after he allegedly shot a 10-year-old boy in Gaibandha on October 2, last year.

He was arrested on October 14 at Uttara in the capital but later granted bail.
