The BNP alleges that its senior leader Moudud Ahmed has been kept under house arrest at the behest of Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader.
“Police are not letting Standing Committee member Moudud Ahmed leave his home in Noakhali’s Companyganj since Friday,” Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi told a media briefing on Saturday.
Describing it as ‘outright thuggery’, he said, “Police detained 10 people when party leaders and members went to meet him. Party members are not being allowed to meet him today either.”
Speaking at a media call on Saturday he demanded the police cordoning be lifted and detained party members freed.
