BNP stages 'mammoth showdown' tomorrow

BNP has planned a 'massive showdown' through a public rally in the capital tomorrow (Saturday) to protest against the arrest and harassment of party leaders and activists, reports UNB.
The party's Dhaka south and north units will arrange the rally in front of the party's Nayapaltan central office at 2:30pm.
The rally is also meant for mounting pressure on the government to accept the party's 10-point demand, including holding the next polls under a non-party neutral government and releasing party chairperson Khaleda Zia without any condition.
As it is the first programme of their ongoing movement after Eid-ul-Fitr, the party has already taken necessary preparations to ensure a massive turnout of people at the rally.
Ahead of the rally, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Thursday had a joint meeting with the leaders of the party's Dhaka south and north city units and the associate bodies and directed them to ensure of the huge presence of people at the rally from all wards of the capital.
