The Awami League-led 14-party coalition has announced a rally for Saturday in Dhaka as its main rival the BNP is preparing for a similar demonstration in the capital the same day.
The announcement by 14-party alliance spokesman Awami League leader Mohammed Nasim on Tuesday has heated up Bangladesh’s politics amid discussions of a fresh polarisation ahead of the general elections, reports bdnews24.com.
The BNP has asked its leaders and activists to be ready for waging the ‘final’ movement against the government while the ruling coalition says they will be out on the streets to tackle any unpleasant situation.
