BNP has called two consecutive shutdowns on Sunday and Monday as they say the government failed to return 'missing' BNP leader M Ilias Ali by the 'deadline'. The party's acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir announced the new agitation programme at a press briefing at the party's Naya Paltan headquarters on Satuday. "We will enforce dawn to dusk shutdowns on Sunday and Monday to protest the forced disappearance of Ilias Ali."
On Tuesday, the BNP chief Khakeda Zia had given the government Saturday deadline to return Ilias Ali or she had said they would go for tougher agitation. BNP enforced three consecutive countrywide shutdowns on Apr 22, 23 and 24 and a day-long shutdown at four Sylhet districts on Apr 20 on the same demand.
