Pro-Awami League transport workers have threatened to cordon off BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia’s Gulshan office, in protest against the ongoing BNP-led country-wide blockade.
Two organisations of transport workers – Bangladesh Sarak Paribahan Sramik League and Sammilito Gari Chalak Samaj made this threat while distributing leaflets in front of the National Press Club yesterday.
Activists from the organisations said if Khaleda would not withdraw the blockade by Wednesday night, they would have to cordon off Khaleda Zia’s Gulshan office, in protest against the terror created in the city, the petrol bomb attacks, vandalism and arson attacks on buses, and other forms of sabotage in the name of blockade.
They said they will begin with a rally in front of the National Press Club at 11am today, and then begin a march to Khaleda’s Gulshan office.
BNP chief Khaleda Zia has been kept confined in her Gulshan party office since January 3.
The party then declared a non-stop nationwide blockade since January 5, which has resulted in deaths of many common people as well as grave injuries on many from arson attacks with petrol bombs, and vandalism of vehicles.
