Gano Adhikar Parishad held a protest demanding the removal and arrest of DNCC Administrator Mohammad Ejaz, whom they accuse of having links to the banned extremist group Hizb-ut Tahrir. The protest took place Tuesday afternoon in front of the DNCC office. Advisor Asif Mahmud claimed Ejaz’s appointment is a betrayal of the martyrs. Leader Farooq Hassan issued a 48-hour ultimatum to the government, warning that if Ejaz is not removed and arrested by then, a mass blockade of the Jamuna area would follow on Saturday.
