DHAKA, BANGLADESH - JANUARY 17 : A covered van belonging to the ‘Real BNP’ set on fire in front the BNP’s central office in Dhaka, Bangladesh on January 17, 2016. For the second time this month, Asol BNP, literally meaning real BNP, made an attempt on BNP headquarters at Nayapaltan in Dhaka today and were met with aggravated and stick-wielding activists of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal, who alleged that it was all a conspiracy of the government to split BNP. About a dozen ‘Asol BNP’ men, led by their chief Kamrul Hasan Nasim, drove near the BNP office on a pick-up van with loudspeakers playing slogans: “Bangabandhu is the father of our nation but we need a Ziaur Rahman” around 3:40pm. Yards away from the office, Chhatra Dal and BNP activists charged at them with sticks and drove them away. The vehicle was set on fire and the incident was followed by a flash pro-BNP procession.
