Police put up on Thursday barricades to prevent activists of Islami Andolan Bangladesh from going towards Indian High Commission in Dhaka protesting the derogatory remarks by India's two BJP leaders on Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), reports UNB.
Several thousand leaders and activities started the march from the north gate of Baitul Mukarram National Mosque area around 11:00 am as part of their earlier scheduled programme.
When the procession, led by the party's Ameer Mufti Rezaul Karim Pri Saheb Charmonai, reached Santinagar intersection at 12:00 noon, police halted them.
Police, however, allowed a five-member team, led by presidium member Mosaddek Billah Al Madani, to proceed to the mission in Baridhara to submit a memorandum, said Shahidul Islam Kabir, wing coordinator of Islami Andolan Bangladesh.
They demanded exemplary punishment of former BJP leaders Nupur Sharma and Naveen Jindal for their offensive comments.
