NEW DELHI: Army troops in Bangladesh on Saturday intensified their patrols on the streets of Dhaka as the country witnessed rising tensions with the newly formed student-led National Citizen Party (NCP) accusing the military of political interference.
The NCP staged protest rallies at the premier Dhaka University campus vowing to thwart at any cost a “military-backed plot” to rehabilitate deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League which was toppled seven months ago in a student-led violent street protest in July-August last year.
A key leader of NCP, which was floated last month with widely assumed blessings of Professor Muhammad Yunus, accused the military of “political interference” over a proposal for inclusiveness that would allow Awami League to participate in the next elections. PTI
