BNP will hold victory rallies in all upazilas and thanas today (Tuesday), and in all districts and metropolitan cities across the country tomorrow (Wednesday), marking the first anniversary of the fall of fascism and the victory of students and the masses in the July Uprising, reports UNB.
The party announced the programme in a press release signed by its Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Monday.
"To mark the anniversary of the fall of Awami fascism and the victory of students and the masses following the July uprising, victory rallies will be held across the country on Tuesday (August 5) at all thana/upazila levels, and on Wednesday (August 6) in all districts and metropolitan cities," he said.

He called upon all, especially Dhaka city residents, BNP leaders and activists and members of its affiliated and associate bodies, to join the rallies on time.
Earlier on June 26, the BNP announced a 36-day-long programme titled 'July-August Uprising: Mourning and Victory Observance' to mark the first anniversary of the July-August mass uprising, which led to the ousting of autocratic ruler Sheikh Hasina from power on August 5, 2024.
The programme includes discussions, silent marches, rallies, seminars, blood donation campaigns, graffiti painting, street theatre, football tournaments, children's rights events and public awareness drives on dengue and COVID-19 prevention.
