Dhaka, Sep 12 (Just News): BNP started a two-hour token hunger strike in Dhaka demanding its Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia's release from jail and her proper treatment.
The programme began on the premises of Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh at 10 am.
BNP leaders and activists holding banners, festoons and placards joined the programme and chanting slogans to have their chairperson freed from jail.
A large number of law enforcers were deployed near the venue to maintain law and order.
