Three BNP associate bodies – Jatiyatabadi Jubo Dal, Chhatra Dal, and Swechchhasebak Dal – will hold a youth rally at the Suhrawardy Udyan in Dhaka on Saturday to drum up the young generation’s support for their one-point demand, including holding the next polls under a caretaker government.
“Through discussion with the police authorities, we have decided to hold our youth rally at the Suhrawardy Udyan,” Jubo Dal President Sultan Salahuddin Tuku told reporters after a meeting with the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) commissioner on Thursday night.
He said the DMP authorities asked them to give an application for using the venue for their youth rally. “We have already submitted the application.”
Tuku said they will hold a press conference in front of the BNP’s Naya Paltan central office on Friday to elaborate on their plans for the rally.
He said they have already held five youth rallies in five divisions with the cooperation of the administration.
“We the three organisations will jointly hold a similar rally in Dhaka on July 22 [Saturday]. We came here [DMP commissioner’s office] to inform them about our rally…they positively told us to hold the programme at the Suhrawardy Udyan.”
He said they will now take preparation to hold the last youth rally in the capital to involve the youth with their movement to realise their one-point demand.
Tuku said the DMP commissioner assured them of providing all-out cooperation to make their programme a success.
Earlier, Tuku along with Dhaka south BNP Convener Abdus Salam, north BNP Convener Amanullah Aman, and Chhatra Dal President Kazi Rawnaqul Islam Shrabon met DMP Commissioner Khandker Golam Faruq at his Bailey Road office.
On June 2, three BNP associate bodies announced to hold six youth rallies in Chattogram, Bogura, Khulna, Barishal, Sylhet and Dhaka.
