BNP’s mass rallies in Dhaka today

Staff Reporter:

The main opposition party BNP will bring out mass processions in the capital on Saturday as part of their simultaneous one-point movement.

The other like-minded opposition parties are also set to bring out the processions simultaneously to mount pressure on the government to quit and hold the next election under a non-party caretaker government.

Sources said, the Dhaka south city unit of BNP will take out a procession from near Kamalapur Railway Station at 2pm, which will end at Nayapaltan.

Besides, the north city unit will start a procession from Rampura at the same time, which will also end at Nayapaltan.

The opposition parties joined the simultaneous movement demanding the resignation of the current “fascist, authoritarian, people’s vote looter and illegal Awami League government, dissolution of the existing parliament, formation of the polls-time impartial government and reconstitution of the Election Commission for arranging a free, fair and inclusive election, the release of all political prisoners, including BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, withdrawal of all false and phantom cases, including those against Tarique Rahman, and annulment of all false convictions.

Khaleda Zia is in a critical state- Rizvi: BNP Senior Joint-Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Friday said that the party chief Begum Khaleda Zia is in a critical health condition.

“BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia’s health condition has deteriorated. She is in a critical condition.

But the government is yet to allow her going abroad for taking emergency and necessary proper medical treatment,” Rizvi said while addressing a prayer and milad mahfil arranged by Jubo Dal for early recovery of Begum Khaleda Zia at the party’s Naya Paltan central office in the capital.

Rizvi asked the government to take Khaleda Zia abroad for her adequate medical treatment which is not possible in the country.
