The roads in and around the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka is completely gridlocked following protests over the arrival of a top religious scholar from India to attend the Biswa Ijtema.
A section of Tabligh-Jamaat men joined the protesters blocking the Airport Road resulting in a gridlock stretching all the way to Tongi Bridge.
Indian Tabligh-Jamaat Scholar Maulana Saad Kandhalvi reached the Dhaka airport by a Thai Airways flight around 1:00pm but he could not get out of the airport due to the protest.
