“We’ve taken a decision to go to the court challenging the injunction order. We’ll also continue our political fight to this end,” said JCD council’s appeal committee chief Shamsuzzaman Dudu.
Talking to reporters at BNP’s Nayapaltan central office, Dudu, also a former JCD president, said a fresh decision over holding the council of the BNP’s student body will be made after the court vacates the injunction order.
“Huge enthusiasm was created among the leaders and activists of Chhatra Dal as its council was scheduled to be held today (Saturday). But the court’s injunction made them disappointed.”
Several hundred JCD leaders and activists gathered in front of BNP’s central office around 12pm and chanted various slogans demanding BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia’s release.
On Thursday, a Dhaka court issued an ad interim injunction on holding the council of JCD.
The court passed the order as JCD’s ex-assistant religious affairs secretary Md Aman Ullah Aman filed a case seeking a permanent injunction on holding the council.
The lower court also asked the BNP secretary general and nine other party leaders to appear before it and submit a written objection to the injunction order in the next seven days.
