BNP's rally, black flag processions on January 5

BNP will hold a rally in the city and bring out black flag processions across the country on January 5 to observe the day as 'Democracy Killing Day', reports BNB.

The party registered its protest against 10th parliamentary polls held on that day in 2014.

BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi anounced the programme at a press conference at the party's Nayapaltan central office.

"The current government has obliterated democracy by holding a lopsided election on January 5, 2014, and BNP has been observing the day as Democracy Killing Day since then," he said.

As part of his party's plan to mark the day, Rizvi said they will hold a rally at Suhrawardy Udyan in the capital on the day.
