BNP joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Wednesday said the countrywide transport blockade will continue until their 20-party alliance takes a fresh decision in this regard.
The BNP leader came up with the announcement at a press briefing at a residence in Gulshan, hours after he had left a city hospital dodging the police.Rizvi, who was picked up by plainclothes police and then admitted to Apollo Hospital on Saturday, left the hospital in the morning without informing the hospital authorities.
Plainclothes police picked up Ruhul Kabir Rizvi from BNP central office on Saturday night.
He was ‘forced’ to stay in the hospital for two days before the much-hyped the January-5 rally of the BNP-led 20-party alliance in the capital, marking what BNP says ‘Democracy Killing Day’. The rally could not be held ultimately due to the confinement of BNP chief Khaleda Zia.
Meanwhile, the countrywide indefinite transport blockade, enforced by the BNP-led 20-party alliance, entered into the second day on Wednesday.
BNP chief Khaleda Zia called the countrywide indefinite blockade from Tuesday as the government did not allow her party and allies to hold protest rallies in the capital. – UNB
