The 9th phase 48-hour blockade enforced by BNP demanding cancellation of the schedule of the 12th Jatiya Sangsad (JS) elections, resignation of the government, formation of a non-partisan government and releasing the jailed leaders has started. The blockade will continue from 6 am on Sunday (December 3) until 6 am on Tuesday (November 5). BNP has been enforcing a program of blockade after the clash with the police at the October 28 mass rally.

BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi has called for this new blockade.

Rizvi said that a 48-hour blockade program will be held from 6 am on Sunday to 6 am on Tuesday to demand the resignation of the government, the cancellation of the schedule for the 12th JS elections, and the release of arrested activists including Khaleda Zia. Leaders and activists of all like-minded parties and alliances will make this program successful.

Meanwhile, miscreants set fire to three buses in the capital Dhaka in a span of 27 minutes the night before the blockade. These buses were set on fire in separate incidents at Sayedabad, Gabtali Terminal and Agargaon.

Apart from this, BNP leaders and activists held a torch procession in the capital in support of the blockade. The torch procession was taken out in the Agargaon area of the capital on Saturday evening. It was led by BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi.
