Police will not allow the BNP and Jubo League to hold simultaneous programmes at the entry points to Dhaka city on Saturday considering public suffering and security. “No one has been given permission to hold programmes,” Dhaka Metropolitan Police Commissioner Khandker Golam Faruq said. Asked about police’s decision, Jubo League General Secretary Mainul Hossain Khan Nikhil said he was unaware that his organisation was denied permission to hold rallies at the entry points to the city. And yet thousands of supporters of the BNP and the Awami League braved rains and scorching heat to attend the rallies. He was also convicted of graft and plotting an attempt on Hasina’s life in the deadly 2004 grenade attack on an Awami League rally.
