BNP to wage a strong movement after Ramadan

Friday, 20 June 2014


BNP is planning to use the fasting month of Ramadan for its full-scale preparations to wage a ‘strong movement’ after the holy month. During the Ramadan, BNP wants to reorganise itself and its associate bodies and boost the morale of its grassroots-level leaders and activists, according to a news agency.
Although BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia has threatened to wage a movement after Eid to force the government to hold a fresh election soon, the party senior leaders think their movement is unlikely to get intensified before October.
According to sources close to Khaleda, the party will start reshuffling the cards with reconstituting the new committee for Dhaka city unit in early Ramadan and then will gradually tidy up Chhatra Dal and Jubo Dal and other associate bodies.
 The sources said the party will announce programmes on some specific issues, mainly on public sufferings, government’s failures and misdeeds, and national interest to put the party men at war mood after Eid-ul-Fitr as per the announcement of Khaleda. But it is unlikely to announce any harsher programmes like hartal and blockade before October unless the political situation takes a new twist with any major development.
