Only hours before, the ruling party’s general secretary said on Sunday afternoon that it was ‘celebration, not agitation’ after facing the ire of the ex-BCL leaders at the party chief’s Dhanmondi offices on Saturday. "Those who went to see me, they came out and celebrated after I clarified the situation about the sub-committees," he said. He warned them against agitation before assuring them of meeting their demand for posts in the subcommittees. They claimed the posts were sold to supporters of BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami, leaving the dedicated ex-BCL leaders out. “If anyone continues protesting after today’s warning, they will be considered to have no link with the party,” he quoted Quader as telling the ex-BCL leaders.
