BNP senior leader Nazrul Islam Khan today slammed the law enforcers for arresting veteran journalist Shafik Rehman in a “dirty trick”.
“Law enforcers can’t arrest anyone in plaincloth. But plainclothes, posing as journalists, picked up Shafik Rehman from his house,” he told at a programme in Dhaka.

Strongly criticising Shafik Rehman’s arrest, Nazrul said, his only “offense” is that he writes truth.
