UNB, Dhaka :
BNP on Friday alleged that law enforcers violated the Supreme Court’s (SC’s) directives by arresting one of its leaders from a political programme without any warrant.
Speaking at a discussion, party secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir also said the government’s plan to hold the next national election keeping BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia in jail is unrealistic.
“I would like to express my anger and sorrow as I couldn’t save a Chhatra Dal leader who tried to escape arrest holding me tight. The law enforcers swooped on our ongoing programme in front of the Press Club and snatched him by tearing his clothes,” he said. The BNP leader further said, “It’s a rare and most disgusting incident in Bangladesh’s political history. The law enforcers violated the directives of the Supreme Court by making such an arrest (without any warrant). A faction of Jatiya Party (Zafar), arranged the programme at the Jatiya Press Club, demanding BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia’s release from jail. On Thursday, police arrested JCD leader Mizanur Rahman Raj from BNP’s sit-in programme in front of the Jatiya Press Club and foiled the event just 13 minutes before its scheduled conclusion.
