is not a place for overnight stay for any wanted accused.

Awami League joint general secretary Mahbubul Alam Hanif on Tuesday urged journalists to hand BNP acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, who has been staying at the Jatiya Press Club since Monday afternoon, over to the police.

Hanif also commented that the Jatiya Press Club is not a place for overnight stay for any wanted accused.

“Jatiya Press Club is a place for journalists, not a place for overnight stay for any accused wanted in cases… journalists should hand him over to the legal custody,” Hanif said.

Hanif came up with the remarks while talking to the media at Awami League president Sheikh Hasina's Dhanmondi political office today morning.

Fakhrul remained confined to the Jatiya Press Club since Monday afternoon as Projanma League activists stopped him from leaving the club after he attended a rally there.

A good number of police personnel have kept the three entrances of the club cordoned off since Tuesday morning.
