Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has locked in a clash with law enforcement agencies in Nayapaltan of the capital.

Several people, including journalists, were injured, Banglanews correspondent reports.

The clash ensued between BNP men and police this afternoon after the party people started thronging there ahead of much-hyped grand rally scheduled for December 10.

As police tried to remove BNP men from there, a chase and counter chase took place between the party men and the police personnel.

A bickering has arisen out of the venue of the BNP’s upcoming rally as the government fixed Suhrawardy Udyan which is disliked by the party.

Rather, opposition BNP is adamant to hold the rally in Nayapaltan, a place marked by vehicle and public movement.

Police deployed APC, prison van and additional force to tackle any untoward situation.
