Wednesday, 22 October 2014
BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia goes to Bogra today (Wednesday) as she embarks on a tour of Nilphamari to address a public rally, aiming to mobilise public support in favour of 20-party alliance's demand for holding fresh polls under a non-party administration, reports UNB.
With the Nilphamari tour, the BNP chief will also launch a fresh countrywide mass campaign programme planned by her party-led 20-party to create a solid ground for a decisive movement to force the current administration to quit and arrange a fresh inclusive election.
The mass campaign is also meant for mounting pressure on the government to stop extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances and repressive acts, and restore the democratic rights of people.
The BNP chief will start her journey for Nilphamari from her Gulshan residence around 3pm on Wednesday and stay overnight at Bogra Circuit house, her media wing members Sayrul Kabir Khan told UNB on Tuesday.
Later, Khaleda will start for Nilphamari around 12 noon on Thursday.
She will address a public rally to be arranged by the local unit of the 20-party alliance at Pourasva Braomath in Nilphamari district town in the afternoon.
The BNP chief is scheduled to return to the capital on the same day after attending the rally.
