Khulna BNP factions hold separate rallies
Staff Correspondent, Khulna
Two factions of Khulna BNP held rallies separately in the city as part of the party's central programme protesting what it said the anarchy created by the Awami League-led 14-party opposition combine over electoral reforms.The faction led by lawmaker Ali Asgar Lobi and Khulna city Mayor Shaikh Tayebur Rahman held the protest rally at Shaheed Maharaj Square, with Zafarullah Khan Shacchu, a member of city BNP convening committee, in the chair. The other faction led by lawmaker Nurul Islam held the rally in front of the party office at KD Ghose Road, with former secretary of city BNP Nazrul Islam Manju in the chair. A large contingent of law enforcers were deployed around the venues of the rallies -- only 100 yards away from each other -- to avert any violence. Speakers at both the rallies warned the Awami League and other components of the 14-party against any attempts to foil the upcoming general elections.
