BNP will hold rallies on Friday and Saturday in front of its Nayapaltan central office in the capital, demanding the release of its jailed leaders.
The party’s Dhaka South City unit will hold a rally at Nayapaltan on Friday demanding the unconditional release of the party chairperson Khaleda Zia and other jailed leaders and the withdrawal of false cases against its acting chairman Tarique Rahman.
BNP standing committee member Gayeshwar Chandra Roy will address the rally as the chief guest, said Dhaka South city unit BNP office secretary Syedur Rahman Mintu.
Besides, Jatiyatabadi Jubo Dal, the youth wing of BNP, will hold a rally at the same venue on Saturday demanding the release of Khaleda Zia and all jailed leaders of Jubo Dal, including its president Sultan Salahuddin Tuku and former president Saiful Islam Nirob.
The decision was taken at a joint meeting of Jubo Dal at BNP’s Nayapaltan central office, said its general secretary Abdul Monayem Munna.
He said the country’s people are going through an unbearable time due to the government’s massive corruption and plundering from various sectors, including banking and finance. “Mega corruption is going on in the name of mega projects. It’s imperative to restore people’s lost rights to get rid of this situation.”
