But I\u2019m not allowed to come out, I\u2019m confined. Let me come out, if you have the courage.\u201d<br \/>\nLater, the opposition leader sent out a message saying that she wants to talk to the media. Sources said around eight platoons of police have been deployed around the opposition leader\u2019s house since Saturday night.<br \/>\nThe law enforcers have created barricades on two sides of the road in front of the residence. Several trucks have also been parked there indiscriminately.<br \/>\nThe law enforcers also dumped two trucks of sand in front of the main gate of Khaleda\u2019s residence, apparently to create an obstacle to movement of the opposition leader\u2019s vehicle. BNP leaders alleged the opposition leader\u2019s police protocol has also been withdrawn.<\/p>\n<div id=\"fb-root\"><\/div>\r\n<script>(function(d, s, id) {\r\n  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\r\n  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\r\n  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\r\n  js.src = \"\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_GB\/all.js#xfbml=1\";\r\n  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\r\n}(document, \"script\", \"facebook-jssdk\"));<\/script>\r\n <fb:comments href=\"https:\/\/english.thesunrisetoday.com\/index.php\/march-for-democracy-to-continue\/\" font=\"arial\" num_posts=\"\" width=\"\" height=\"\" colorscheme=\"light\"  style=\"background:#FFFFFF;padding-top:0px;\r\npadding-right:0px;\r\npadding-bottom:0px;\r\npadding-left:0px;\r\nmargin-top:0px;\r\nmargin-right:0px;\r\nmargin-bottom:0px;\r\nmargin-left:0px;\r\n\"><\/fb:comments>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Terming the current regime \u2018illegal\u2019 and \u2018undemocratic\u2019, BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia on Sunday asked the government to quit immediately to avert the dire consequences. \u201cThis government is illegal and undemocratic.
