Dhaka, Activists of the ruling Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) on Wednesday took to the streets in "anti-protest" campaigns while authorities deployed additional paramilitary forces as garment workers' protests over higher wages continued for a fifth day.
Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association officials said 50 factories were shut down in suburban Gazipur fearing backlash over the death of a previously injured worker during the current wave of protests.
