BNP-led 18-Party alliance has extended its 72-hour blockade until
Friday morning.
Its Joint Secretary General Salahuddin Ahmed said that the blockade
throughout Bangladesh would now end at 6am on Friday.
The announcement came in form of a video message recorded at an
undisclosed location.
“The blockade of roads, railways and waterways will continue until 6am
on Friday.
“We are extending our programme as the government has not accepted our
demand for a non-party caretaker dispensation [to supervise the polls]
and the schedule for a unilateral general election has not been
cancelled,” Salahuddin said.
The 72-hrblockade starting at 6am on Saturday was supposed to end at
6am on Tuesday.
