Police fired teargas and rubber bullets at demonstrators who gathered for the second consecutive day across Bangladesh's capital Dhaka on Saturday. Opposition protesters organised rallies blocking major roads into Dhaka, as they called for prime minister Sheikh Hasina to give power to a caretaker government ahead of elections earlier next year. Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, Bangladesh National party senior joint secretary general, said: 'We are following the democratic ways for a peaceful event. We are conducting our event with the people and our supporters. They may hit us. But we will stay strong on our demand.' Clashes broke out between the different opposition groups and police when the force moved in to disperse demonstrators
