Dhaka: Several cocktails were exploded in front of the opposition BNP’s Nayapaltan central office on Saturday morning when deprived Jatiyatabadi Chhtra Dal leaders were staging protests there against the newly announced full-phased committee excluding them. The explosions took place at about 10:30am in the morning in front of the BNP office which was almost empty at that time and only a handful of JCD activists were protesting their exclusion from the new committee. The JCD activists took out a procession from Fakirerpool area and marched to the Nayapaltan BNP central office chanting slogans against new 291 member committee. The protester also chanted slogans against JCD president Abdul Qader Bhuiyan Jewel and demanded formation of a new committee. The protesters also set fire to a covered van during their protest. The protesters also said a vested quarter dubbed Narsingdi Group misled BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia in announcing the full-committee while BNP’s students affairs secretary Shaheed Uddin Chowdhury Anie is in jail. They also alleged that non-student and married people having several children had been included in the committee while regular students were sidelined from the JCD posts in the committee that created dissatisfaction among the rank and file. No one was injured in the morning explosions that created panic among passers-by who were on their way to business and office.
