Police are taking away BNP Standing Committee Member Moyeen Khan from a black-flag procession at Uttara in Dhaka on Tuesday. — Photo Collected Police did not allow the BNP to take out processions at seven points of the capital on Tuesday, the day when the 12th parliament went into its maiden session, citing a lack of permission for the street programme, reports UNB.
The BNP and like-minded opposition parties were supposed to take out processions holding black flags across the country, including the capital on the day, demanding a fresh election under a non-party government.
In the capital, BNP's Dhaka south city unit was scheduled to bring out black-flag processions in front of Pirjungi Mazar, Jatrabari's Kadamtoli Bus Station, New Market and Dayaganj intersection. The Dhaka north city unit was scheduled to bring out processions from Suvastu Nazar Valley Shopping Mall at Shahjadpur, Uttara Section-12 Graveyard and a mosque at Mirpur-6, also to demand cancellation of the 'illegal dummy' parliament.
