BNP extends full support to quota protestors’ shutdown

BNP has announced full support for the nationwide ‘complete shutdown’ scheduled for Thursday, called by the Anti-discrimination Student Movement. The protest is in response to attacks on university students that resulted in at least six deaths. BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi made the announcement during a virtual press briefing on Wednesday night. The party’s standing committee decided to back the students’ programme, urging people from all walks of life to participate in the shutdown. BD Pratidin
