The BNP on Saturday accused the police of delaying in giving permission to the party to hold its November 7 rally at Suhrawardy Udyan on Sunday.
“The police are dilly-dallying in giving permission. This attitude exposes autocratic face of the current regime.” said BNP Senior Joint-Secretary
General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi. He said it while addressing a press briefing at the party’s Nayapaltan office.
He accused the police of practicing delaying technique in giving the BNP permission to hold the programme marking the National Revolution and Solidarity Day.
The BNP leader called upon the police to act judiciously and friendly. On Tuesday, BNP rescheduled its programme and selected Sunday that the rally could be held at Suhrawardy Udyan.
The party had also sought permission to arrange the rally at Suhrawardy Udyan either on November 7 or 8, but the Dhaka Metropolitan Police declined to allow it on security ground.
The DMP, however, permitted the party to hold a discussion instead of a rally in the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh on Tuesday, but the party rejected it.
Rizvi said the government was foiling BNP’s programmes using law enforcers to suppress public protests against its misrule.
“Why do the police play a key role in protecting the ruling party’s interest?’ he said. The BNP leader also urged the law enforcers not to make themselves people’s enemy by snatching rights at the behest of the ruling party.
