BNP chairperson Khaleda will visit the district on May 14 (Wednesday) to console the family members of the seven people brutally killed after abduction recently. “Lakhs of people would have joined our rally if we’re allowed to hold it. Our chairperson will come here on Wednesday to console the family members of the seven victims. We were not given permission for her rally,” said Narayanganj district BNP president Taimur Alam Khandaker. Talking to reporters at Narayanganj Press Club, the BNP leader also said Khaleda will visit the houses of slain Narayanganj panel mayor Nazrul Islam and senior lawyer Chandan Kumar Sarker. She will talk to the family members of five other victims and console them if she cannot visit their houses, he added. Earlier, BNP twice sought permission for holding a rally of Khaleda in front the Narayanganj City Corporation on Wednesday. But Narayanganj city mayor Selina Hayat Ivy denied them permission on security grounds. Nazrul Islam, his three associates, driver, senior lawyer Chandan Kumar Sarker and his driver were killed three days after their abduction in Narayanganj on April 27. – UNB
