"BCL has to be banned as a terrorist organisation within seven days. We are giving a seven day ultimatum from the Amar Desh newspaper family and journalist platform. If no action is taken within this deadline, strong movement will be staged on the road," he said.
He gave the ultimatum at a programme while pressing home his seven point demand on the premises of the National Press Club on Sunday.
