BNP is planning to stage showdowns in 10 divisions across the country to demonstrate its strength in resisting any plot to destabilise the country and mount pressure on the government to present a clear election roadmap, reports UNB.
Through the rallies, the party's senior leaders said they will also send a message to the government not to attempt to prolong its power under the guise of the state reform agenda and not to recognise BNP's political strength.
As per a decision made by the party's standing committee on Monday night, the rallies will begin in early December, with the schedule to be finalised today (Wednesday) in discussions with the divisional organising secretaries of the party.
The party also decided to stage another massive public gathering in the city on December 16, marking Victory Day, either through a public meeting or a rally.
Besides, the party has decided to rebrand its 31-point proposal to create public opinion that the interim government should not waste much time under the pretext of reforms, as BNP has already outlined an acceptable framework for it.
Talking to the news agency, senior leaders of the party said that with the input of 42 like-minded political parties, BNP's 31-point reform proposal will become a blueprint for the governance of the country if the party returns to power.
The party is scheduled to relaunch the 31-point proposal at a city hotel tomorrow (Thursday), as it seeks to take the reform outline to the people and gain widespread support.
As part of this initiative, the party is training its leaders and workers, as well as those from its associate bodies.
The trained individuals will inform the public in detail about the 31 points through workshops in divisional cities and key districts across the country. Simultaneously, the team will also gather feedback from people from different sectors, including experts, to further enrich the outline.
A BNP standing committee member, speaking on condition of anonymity, said their last two meetings thoroughly discussed reforms, the election, activities of the interim government, the current political situation, relations with Jamaat and other parties, as well as BNP's next course of action.
