The Jatiya Party, ousted Awami League regime鈥檚 close ally, on Saturday staged demonstrations in Rangpur protesting at the visit of Student Movement Against Discrimination central coordinator Sarjis Alam.
Sarjis Alam visited Rangpur on the day.
JP leaders and activists brought out a procession with sticks and marched the main city roads.
The demonstrations in the city were held from 12:15pm to 1:15pm as the party withdrew the protests due to the protocol of the inspector general of police.
