UK BNP president MA Malek acknowledged the incident and told the media that during the protest, Awami League did not come to us. Why did he come (Arif Khan Joy), we did not understand MA Malek claimed that the situation would have been worse if they did not protect the deputy minister. Police have arrested both Maruf and Bappi in this incident, he said.

It is to be noted that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is currently in London to attend the Commonwealth Summit. UK BNP activists protest against his visit every day.
