DHAKA (Reuters) - Opposition activists accused Bangladesh's government of cutting their leader's electricity, Internet and cable connections on Saturday after days of violent anti-government protests.

The disconnections were reported soon after the opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), led by Begum Khaleda Zia, called another 72-hour strike from Sunday morning along with its ongoing blockades of roads, railways and water routes.
