Dhaka Bureau: Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal said that BNP will be allowed to hold a rally in Suhrawardy Udyan on December 10 subject to conditions. The government will not allow anywhere under compulsion. Permission is given wherever the Government thinks fit. Big gatherings are not possible without Suhrawardy Udyan.
He said this in response to questions from reporters after the opening ceremony of the second Sheikh Kamal Cirque Snooker Championship at Dhaka Club in the capital on Saturday (November 26).
BNP is saying that they will hold a rally in Nayapaltan. The Home Minister said that the government is not obliged to listen to anyone. Moreover, BNPE has asked for the venue of Suhrawardy Udyan. DMP Commissioner Suhrawardy Udyan felt suitable. That is why BNP has been allowed there, he said.
In response to the question whether BNP can hold a rally anywhere else except Suhrawardy Udyan, the minister said, “My question is to you.” Where will they do such a large gathering?
On the other hand, in response to a question about the militant Zia, Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal said that the head of the military wing of Ansar al-Islam and the accused Major (expelled) Zia, who was sentenced to death in several cases, is secretly hiding, so he cannot be caught. He is constantly changing his position. We are detecting its location, changing it again. But hopefully, it will be possible to catch him very soon.
