Diplomats of different missions in Bangladesh hold a meeting with BNP leaders at the party’s chairperson’s office at Gulshan in Dhaka this afternoon to discuss militancy issue and present political situation in the country.

North South University Professor Gias Uddin Ahsan, a Mirpur landlord, and two others are placed on eight-day remand each for allegedly sheltering Dhaka attackers and withholding the mandatory tenant information from police.

The heinous terrorist attacks in a Gulshan café and the subsequent attack on an Eid congregation in Sholakia have brought home the reality of a massive lack of preparedness in dealing with terror operations which started with targeted killings and have now taken on a bigger scale.

Noted Islamic thinker Maulana Fariduddin Masud says he was the target of the attack at famous Sholakia Eidgah during Eid prayers on July 7, 2016.
