BNP events foiled in N'ganj
A human chain and discussion organised by the central committee of BNP were foiled due to a scuffle between the party activists and police in Narayanganj yesterday.
Police also detained four BNP leaders and activists for “creating chaos”.
The incident took place in Chasara Balur Math area around 11:00am, where the events were supposed to take place, said Sakhawat Hossain Khan, senior vice president of Narayanganj city unit of BNP.
As part of it, he along with others started gathering in front of the press club when police chased them away and detained the four party men, he said.
“We have been observing peaceful programmes. We were planning to do the same today [yesterday] but police did not allow us, depriving us of our political right,” he added.
Around 11:15am, district BNP leaders led by its vice president Abul Kalam Azad also tried to gather there, but they too left the area seeing police in action, said party activists.
Kamrul Islam, officer-in-charge of Narayanganj Sadar Model police Station, said, “They [BNP men] were creating chaos in the area, so police obstructed them and detained the four.”
