Police barred a large number of small and medium investors in Unipay2U, a multi-level marketing company, from holding a rally at Woodland Park community centre at Sholashahar in Chittagong on Saturday.
Chittagong divisional unit of the committee for protection of the interests of the investors in Unipay 2U Bangladesh Limited had announced the rally in protest against the freeze of the accounts of Unipay by the central bank.
Later, the investors in the company held a meeting on the playground of Forest Research high school in the area.
The investors urged the government to withdraw the decision taking into account the fate of about seven lakh small and medium investors in the company from all over the country.
Terming the Bangladesh Bank's action 'conspiratorial', the speakers said the government could rather audit their accounts if necessary. 'We will be reduced to paupers by the government's action,' they said.
About five thousand investors from different areas of Chittagong attended the protest meeting.
The rally, presided over by Abdur Rahman, was also addressed by Monwar Ali, Mohammed Salauddin, Kamal Uddin and Shahin Ahmed Selim.
Nabajyoti Khisha, the officer-in-charge of Panchlaish police station, told New Age that the organisers of the meeting did not take any permission from the police for holding the meeting.
