Dhaka, Dec 27 (IBNS): Bangladesh's main opposition the BNP-led 20-party alliance on Saturday called a countrywide hartal on Monday, media reports said.

The alliance has called the dawn-to-dusk hartal to protest against the arrest of their party leader Goyeshwar Chandra Roy  and the restriction imposed on the Gazipur rally on Saturday.

The decision was taken after secretary general level meeting here.

“We are going enforce the hartal as the government did not allow us to hold our rally in Gazipur,”BNP acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir was quoted as saying by The Daily Star.
