BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia is spending a second night at her Gulshan office, virtually under siege by police who claim it is for her 'safety'.

Her party has announced agitations for Monday, the first anniversary of the 10th general elections which it had boycotted.
She has been at her office since Saturday after the law-enforcing agencies ramped up security and reportedly barred her from leaving.
Check-posts and roadblocks have been set up there.
At least 21 BNP activists including several women leaders were detained following a scuffle on Sunday.
Khaleda did not have a change of clothes in the last 24 hours, her aides said.
BNP's planned agitations look uncertain as police have locked their headquarters and banned gatherings in Dhaka indefinitely.
Several lawyers and BNP-leaning journalists met Khaleda in the afternoon.
She reportedly told them that she would not sit idle.
"I'll get out tomorrow and hit the streets," former BFUJ chief Ruhul Amin Gazi quoted her as saying.
