The arrest of the Digital Security Law in the case of the death of the author, Mushtaq Ahmed and the title of the late president Ziaur Rahman has been called in front of the National Press Club to protest the decision to suspend student activists confronted with the police at the protests.
The clashes, which began around 11:15 a.m. Sunday, continued for a time. Subsequently, the police fired tear gas projectiles and beat the protesters with sticks. Excited BNP leaders and activists were seen throwing bricks at the police. BNP Deputy Secretary General Habib-un-Nabi Khan Sohail, Chhatra Dal Central Vice President Mamun Khan, police, journalists and more than 50 activists were injured in the clash. Police arrested at least 10 members of the student group at the scene. Seven people were also detained in the emergency department area of the Dhaka Medical College Hospital. A case is being processed at the Shahbagh Police Station. The police officers did not allow any kind of violence without any provocation planned a rally for the student. And the student group has claimed that the police attacked the peaceful program without provocation.
Witnesses said there had been a massive police presence in the Press Club area since the morning around the Chhatra Dal program. Chhatra Dal leaders and activists began meeting inside the press club starting at 10 am. Police entered the press club to speak with student leaders, but no solution was found. BNP Deputy Secretary General Habib-un-Nabi Khan Sohail arrived at the premises of the National Press Club at around 11 am and spoke with police officers. The police informed Sohail that no meeting could be held in front of the press club without permission. In response, BNP leaders said, all went to the press club to protest. They will also protest peacefully. Shortly after 11 a.m., Chhatra Dal leaders and activists emerged from inside the press club and took a position on the road. When the police asked them to get off the road, they disagreed. After that, when the police tried to drive them away, the confrontation began. BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir was present at the National Press Club as the main guest. Faced with the suddenness of the incident, Chhatra Dal leaders and activists threw bricks at the police and immediately became a battlefield in front of the National Press Club. Common people run from here to there. Traffic is closed. About 20 bursts of tear gas were fired and reckless beatings were inflicted in the pursuit between leaders and activists with the police.
Ramna Police Division Deputy Commissioner (DC) Sajjadur Rahman said: ‘If you want to hold a ceremony anywhere in Dhaka city, you need to get permission from the DMP commissioner. Chhatra Dal did not ask permission to run the show. We told them in the morning, you do the program with permission. Instead, he exited through a gap in the press club and attacked the police, throwing bricks from inside the press club. Seven or eight members of the police were injured. In addition, some people have been detained by the police. We noticed that there were no bricks inside the press club. So where do so many bricks come from? This means that they have collected bricks and attacked the police in a planned way. The police will take strict legal action for this.
Chhatra Dal President Fazlur Rahman Khokon told reporters: “We have requested permission from the police to meet, but we are not allowed. We no longer went to fight there, the police attacked us before the peaceful assembly began. More than 30 Chhatra Dal leaders and activists were injured in the clash and are receiving treatment at various hospitals. And when they went to Dhaka Medical College for treatment, some people were also detained there.
Akram Khan at the National Press Club, Zia Parishad came to participate in the rally organized by the BNP standing committee member. Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain. He said: ‘In Shahbag, you have seen how the police have attacked ordinary students. Today’s protest in front of the National Press Club to the police did not allow the student protests to be peaceful. I cannot protest, if that is the case, then why do they say that this is a democratic country?
Ilias Khan, general secretary of the National Press Club, condemned the incident in which the police fired tear gas projectiles and beat people inside the club.
