Thursday, 25 December 2014
Police took control over Bhawal College ground on Thursday, amid growing tension over Bangladesh Chhatra League’s stance not to allow BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia to attend a rally called by the 20-party alliance on the venue on Saturday. With only a day left before the scheduled rally, the 20-party alliance is yet to get the permission from the local administration while the police personnel deployed on the venue are also barring BNP activists from making arrangements for the rally. However, police allowed Chhatra League activists to stay on the venue till filing of the report at about 7 pm, according to a news agency.
