BSS, Dhaka

The Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) yesterday rejected the permission of holding national convention sought by the Sector Commanders' Forum on March 15 here.

DMP Commissioner Naim Ahmed at a press conference at his office said the authorities denied to give permission of holding the convention considering the law and order situation of the country.

He said the member-secretary of the forum Dr MA Hassan earlier applied to the Ministry of Home Affairs for holding a discussion and cultural function on March 15 at the Bangladesh China Friendship Conference Centre marking 'Independence Day' of the country.

In the invitation letter they said that the function was a part of initiation of trial process of the war criminals through uniting the country men, he added.

The DMP Commissioner also said there was inconsistency in the letters of permission sought from the government and the invitation. That is why the authority rejected the permission, he told the conference.
