BNP to hold rallies in all cities, districts on January 25

BNP on Monday announced a fresh countrywide programme for January 25 to press home their 10-point demand, including polls under a caretaker government.

BNP standing committee member Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain came up with the announcement from their party’s rally at Nayapaltan in the capital.

The programme will be observed in all metropolitan cities and district headquarters, he said.

“A BaKSAL regime was introduced on January 25, 1975, and democracy was destroyed. That’s why BNP will hold a countrywide rally in all cities and districts on January 25 to press home their 10-point demands including resignation of the government, an election under the caretaker government, and release of Khaleda Zia and all BNP leaders,” he said.

Earlier, in the day, the leaders and activists of BNP and other like-minded opposition parties observed a rally and procession in the Nayapaltan area to press home their 10-point demand and to protest the government’s power price hike plan.

The programme was observed in all metropolitan cities, districts towns, upazilas and municipality headquarters simultaneously.
