Dhaka, Jan. 8 -- Jatiyatabadi Swechchhasebak Dal, BNP's voluntary wing, on Thursday issued a 24-hour ultimatum to arrest the killers of its former Dhaka North city unit leader Azizur Rahman Musabbir, warning of tougher programmes if the demand is not met.

"We demand that the killers be arrested within 24 hours. On Saturday, protest programmes will be held in Dhaka and across all metropolitan cities and districts. If the killers are not arrested within this timeframe, we will announce tougher programmes," said Swechchhasebak Dal senior vice-president Yaseen Ali.

He gave the ultimatum in a brief address before Musabbir's namaz-e-janaza in front of the BNP's Nayapaltan central office.
