Khaleda set to visit Narayanganj May 14

Even though her party has not got permission to hold a rally in Narayanganj, BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia will visit the district on May 14 to express sympathy for the family members of seven victims.

Narayanganj district BNP president Taimur Alam Khandakar told the Dhaka Tribune over phone that Khaleda Zia will come to Narayanganj on May 14 to express her sympathy for the family members of the seven people who had been abducted and killed recently. 

City panel mayor Nazrul Islam, senior lawyer Chandan Sarkar and five others were abducted from the city’s Link Road on April 27 and were found dead two days later.

The party had sought permission to hold a meeting on Bangabandhu Lane in Narayanganj on May 14, which was turned down  by city corporation authorities. Then it sought permission from the deputy commissioner for Alauddin Stadium, but that too was turned down.

“Though we have not got permission to hold the rally, the schedule for Khaleda Zia’s programme will be the same. She will go to the residences of Nazrul Chandan,” Taimur said.
