BNP office almost empty after deadly clashes mar grand rally
The BNP headquarters at Naya Paltan in Dhaka is almost empty after the death of a police constable in violent clashes with the law enforcers during a rally. Some BNP workers injured in the clashes were lying on tables in the media briefing room of the office on Saturday evening. They claimed police fired tear gas and stun grenades at the Kakrail intersection sometime after the rally began at Naya Paltan around 1 pm. Police then targeted the BNP supporters near the stage, leading to the clashes and foiling the programme, according to the protesters. The ruling Awami League and the Jamaat-e-Islami also held rallies without major incidents at venues near the BNP programme.
