Monday, 20 January 2014
The BNP-led 18-party alliance and its component Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami on Monday called separate day-long hartals in Pabna and Bogra districts for Tuesday and Thursday respectively on separate grounds. In Pabna, district Jamaat will enforce the dawn-to-dusk hartal on Tuesday protesting the arrest of its secretary and a Shibir leader. In Bogra, the 18-party alliance will enforce the shutdown in the district on Thursday protesting ‘continued conspiracy’ against BNP senior vice-chairman Tarique Rahman, according to a news agency.
