Dhaka, Sep 12 (V7N)- Leaders and activists of the Jatiya Nagorik Party (NCP) held a torchlight procession in the capital’s Gulshan area on Friday evening to protest a surprise rally reportedly organized by the Awami League, whose activities are currently banned.
The procession was organized by the Gulshan Thana unit of NCP Dhaka Metropolitan North.
The procession began at the Gulshan-2 intersection and ended near the Shooting Club area in Gulshan-1. Leaders and activists of the Gulshan Thana unit participated in the demonstration.

NCP leaders and activists marched through the area carrying burning torches and raised slogans during the procession.
