Dhaka, Oct 26 (bdnews24.com) – A number of renegade BNP lawmakers, who joined the Liberal Democratic Party, left their NAM apartments in the city's Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Thursday in the wake of attacks on their houses by BNP activists, sources said.
The ruling BNP adherents earlier on the day attacked and in some cases set ablaze houses of several senior LDP leaders in the city and other parts of the country, the sources added.
The BNP men attacked and set alight the houses of BNP's former standing committee member Redwan Ahmed, former speaker Shaikh Razzaq Ali, Syed Monzur Hossain, Alamgir kabir and Mohammad Ali Zinnah across the country.
Former President AQM Badruddoza Chowdhury and ex-BNP policymaker Oli Ahmed launched the new party.
Syed Monzur Hossain, MP, of Chapainawabganj, Abdul Karim Abbasi, MP of Netrokona and Ali Kadar, MP of Jessore, left their NAM apartments Thursday evening.
"We have left the NAM flats and moved to safer places as we feared the ruling [BNP] men may attack us," Monzur Hossain told bdnews24.com.
