Dhaka, Dec 8 (Reporter) Police in Dhaka barred the march towards the Indian High Commission organised by three affiliated bodies of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) in the capital’s Rampura area on Sunday, a day ahead of the visit by Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri.

Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri is to visit Dhaka tomorrow for holding the Foreign Office Consultations. The Bangladesh Nationalist Party march was in protest against the attacks on the Bangladesh Assistant High Commission in Agartala, Tripura earlier this week and the burning of the national flag by a Hindutva outfit. The BNP march was organised by three of the party’s organisations – the Jubo Dal, the Swechchhasebak Dal and the Chhatra Dal, with senior leaders along with other central leaders, participating in the event. Before being stopped, the procession was set to travel through Shantinagar, Malibagh, Mouchak Mor and Rampura before concluding at the Indian High Commission in Baridhara. From early morning, activists began gathering in Naya Paltan in large processions. There was a large deployment of army personnel and police at the Indian High Commission to provide security, with riot police standing on guard. Prior to the march, an official speaking of the security arrangements said "Around 100 additional security personnel have been deployed in response to today’s programme of BNP affiliates heading towards the Indian embassy."
