Local people alleged that they were facing disruption in mobile internet services in Faridpur district since 10:00am on Saturday, ahead of the BNP’s divisional rally in the district.

Mobile phone users said that they were unable to use mobile internet since morning.

AB Siddique Mithu, convener of press sub-committee of BNP’s Faridpur Divisional rally, said, “The government is trying to hinder the rally but their ill efforts will not see success.”

Thousands of leaders and followers of the BNP and its associate bodies have turned out for the party’s rally in Faridpur, overcoming various obstacles and a bus strike that began on Friday morning.

The rally, organised by Faridpur district unit BNP, formally began at about 11:00am on Komorpur Abdul Aziz Institution premises, around 6 kilometres away from the district town.
