CHITTAGONG, Apr 15 (bdnews24.com): Banned Islamist outfit Hijb-ut Tahrir Thursday brought out a procession at Jamalkhan in Chittagong.
Witnesses said that some 25-30 people, carrying a Hijb-ut Tahrir banner, took out the procession from the port city's Cheragi crossing to the Press Club.
Four to five banners were hung at the Press Club and the marchers then left the scene by auto-rickshaws.
The participants under the banner of 'Hijb-ut Tahrir Ulaiyah Bangladesh' chanted anti-government slogans.
Kotwali thana officer-in-charge Mohiuddin Mahmud said that he saw the banners hanging in the press club, but did not see procession.
"They could not bring out any procession. They only hung some banners and left the place soon," Mahmud said.
When the police official was informed that many people had seen the procession, he said the police could not take any action as the demonstrators had left the area quickly.
