Dhaka //

The tension that began around the Jatiya Party central office since Thursday has largely subsided. Two days after students and the public set fire to the office, the Jatiya Party called a rally there on Saturday (November 2). On the other hand, the students had announced a mass resistance program. As the heat spread around the programs of both parties, the DMP banned meetings and gatherings in Kakrail and the surrounding areas. Later, both parties suspended their programs. This stopped the heat.

Although there was no program around the Jatiya Party office, the police have surrounded the burned building since Saturday (November 2) morning. No one from outside is able to enter there. Neither Jatiya Party leaders and activists were seen there, nor were any from the opposition.

Last Thursday evening, there were allegations that Jatiya Party leaders and activists attacked the torch procession of students and the public. When the news came to light, students brought a procession from TSC of Dhaka University and later the angry students and the public vandalized and set fire to the party’s central office.

On Friday (November 1) afternoon, Jatiya Party Chairman Golam Mohammad Quader called an emergency press conference at the Banani office. There, he alleged that a conspiracy was going on against the Jatiya Party. He also claimed that they were not friends of the tyrannical Awami League.

GM Quader announced at the press conference that they would hold a rally in front of the party’s central office on Saturday at any cost. On the other hand, Bin Yamin Molla, president of the Bangladesh Chhatra Odhikar Parishad from TS, announced that the Jatiya Party would not be allowed to hold any rally and that these activities of the Awami League’s friends in the name of the Jatiya Party would be resisted. According to him, allowing the Jatiya Party to hold a rally on Saturday meant another plot to rehabilitate the Awami League.

Amidst this confrontation between the two sides, the police banned any kind of meeting, rally, procession, procession and demonstration in the capital’s Pioneer Road and Kakrail and surrounding areas.

Following the ban by the DMP, Jatiya Party Chairman’s Press Secretary Khandaker Delwar Jalali said in a press release that the Jatiya Party has decided to suspend the protest, procession and rally out of respect for the law as any kind of meeting, rally, procession, procession, demonstration, etc. is prohibited in Building No. 66 on Pioneer Road, Kakrail and surrounding areas. The next program will be officially announced by the Jatiya Party.
