Taking to this correspondent, Asaduzzaman Asad of Kachchari Para in the town alleged that he went to purchase tender schedule but JCD activists roaming on the Zila Parishad premises drove him out. Many others went there to purchase tenders but were driven away like me, he alleged.

On the last date (February 17), a large number of people went there but failed to buy any tender schedule as the Zila Parishad premises was virtually besieged by JCD activists, he alleged.

When contacted, Satkhira JCD general Secretary Hafizul Rahman Mukul said he denied the allegations and said he went there to purchase a tender schedule.

Md Gaus, Chief Executive Officer of Zila Parishad, said he did not get any such allegation.
