DHAKA: Bangladesh's powerful BNP political party has spoken out publicly for the first time against the interim government after a surge of unrest and a sweeping security crackdown.
Police have arrested more than 1,500 people nationwide since Saturday (Feb 8) as part of "Operation Devil Hunt", targeting groups allegedly connected to ousted premier Sheikh Hasina, who was toppled in a student-led revolution in August.
