No question of Khaleda Zia joining Dec 10 rally: BNP

Though the country’s political landscape has become overheated with some opposition leaders’ fiery comments about the participation of Khaleda Zia in her party’s much-talked-about rally in Dhaka on December 10, BNP senior leaders say they never had any plan to take her to their programme.

They also said their December 10 rally in the capital is similar to nine other divisional programmes of BNP where party Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir will address as the chief guest and announce the party’s next course of action.

However, the party leaders are determined to hold the rally at Naya Paltan in front of their party headquarters instead of Suhrawardy Udyan.

The BNP senior leaders said they want to hold the rally peacefully avoiding any type of chaos as they will initiate the second phase of the movement to realise their demand for a polls-time neutral government and the resignation of the government after the December 10 programme.
