B Chowdhury again barred from meeting Khaleda

Bikalpa Dhara Bangladesh (BDB) president Prof AQM Badrudozza Chowdhury again failed to meet BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia at her office Thursday due to police barricade, reports UNB.

The former President went to see BNP chief as a physician by his Pajero jeep at around 7:25 pm. However, he could not reach the main gate of the office as police blocked the road by a water cannon vehicle about 100 yards off the office.

Finding the road blocked, B Chowhdury called the policemen deployed there to remove the water cannon to make way for his vehicle, but the law enforcers did not respond to his call.

Apparently aggrieved at the policemen's behaviour, the BDB chief shouted saying, "What kind of incivility is this? There's a limit to incivility. This vehicle has to be removed. I'm giving one minute's time. If it's not removed by one minute, I'll go away."

But the policemen still remained unmoved. Later, the former President went back from there.

Talking to the journalists while leaving, B Chowdhury said: "I'm a former President. I came here on Sunday too but they did the same as they did today."

He continued, "I'm a senior citizen and a physician. I came here today as a physician."

Earlier on Sunday, Prof Badrudozza Chowdhury was barred from meeting besieged BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia.
