BNP protests govt actions

---

Staging a big showdown in the city Sunday BNP reminded the Awami League government that oppression, police, RAB and army can't keep it in power for long, reports UNB.
The rally at Muktangon was held in the afternoon to protest denial by the government to use Paltan Maidan for observing mass hunger strike scheduled for Sunday.
The mass hunger strike was designed on a number of issues including protesting the government's repressive measures against the opposition, arrest of the party leaders and workers and demanding their release, demanding immediate return of DCC ward councillor Chowdhury Alam who has been missing since June 25, containing price hike of essential commodities and ensure supply of utility services like electricity, gas and water.
Thousands of leaders and workers of BNP and its front and associate organisations as well as some like-minded political parties and partners of BNP-led four-party alliance thronged Muktangon to raise their voice against the government's 'undemocratic' actions.
Presided over by BNP vice-chairman Shah Moazzem Hossain the rally was addressed by a number of senior party leaders.
JAGPA president Shafiul Alam Prodhan and BJP secretary general Shamim-Al Mamun of BNP-led 4-party alliance also addressed the rally.
