BNP executive body to meet at ICCB Saturday

BNP national executive committee is going to hold its first meeting on Saturday next (February 3) at the International Convention City Bashundhara (ICCB) as a Dhaka court is set to deliver its verdict on February 8 in a corruption case against party chairperson Khaleda Zia, reports UNB.

Speaking at a press briefing at BNP's Nayapaltan central office on Monday, party senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said the meeting will begin at 10:00am at Rajdarshan Hall of the convention centre and will continue until 5:00pm.

He said BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir convened the meeting in consultation with party chairperson Khaleda Zia.
