A faction of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) held a protest march in Shariatpur’s Binodpur Union on Tuesday evening demanding the release of Asaduzzaman Liton Munshi, the general secretary of the local Awami League unit. Munshi was arrested by Palong Model Police Station on allegations of involvement with a banned organization and participation in anti-government conspiracies. The unusual protest by BNP activists in favor of an Awami League leader has sparked widespread discussion and criticism across the district.
A 40-second video of the protest circulated on social media, showing BNP activists chanting slogans for Munshi’s release, prompting mixed reactions in local political circles. Police said Munshi was detained during a raid based on secret information and that investigations are ongoing to identify others involved. Former student leader Imran Al Nazir criticized the BNP faction’s action as politically questionable and contrary to public expectations.
Local BNP leader Shahin Madbor denied that the protest was an official party program, claiming it was organized by individuals from one ward without authorization. Observers described the incident as rare and indicative of shifting political dynamics in Shariatpur.
