BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul islam Alamgir, Vice-chairman Khandakar Mahbub Hossain, Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi and Joint Secretary General Mahbubuddin Khokon were also present.

Later, Moudud briefed the BNP chief about the whole eviction process. He also said that the Rajuk started the eviction drive without giving him any prior notices to vacant the house.
