The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has announced a new 48-hour nationwide blockade For Sunday and Monday.
BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi announced the seventh round of road, rail, and waterway blockades during a virtual press briefing on Thursday, November 23, to emphasize the party’s one-point demand: the resignation of the current government and elections under a nonpartisan, impartial administration.
According to Rizvi, the blockade will be in place from 6 a.m. on Sunday, November 26, to 6 a.m. on Tuesday, November 28.
The fresh blockade announcement came just hours before the conclusion of a two-day nationwide blockade on Thursday. Jamaat-e-Islami and other like-minded parties are expected to announce a similar program, sources said.
A total of 410 BNP leaders and activists have been arrested nationwide in the last 24 hours, Rizvi claimed during the briefing.
Rizvi also alleged that over 3,000 BNP men have been detained following the election schedule announcement.
