Khaleda on way to Tangail

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia is on the way to Tangail enroute to Jamalpur where she will address a public rally and distribute relief materials among the recent flood victims in the district.
Khaleda, also a former Prime Minister, left her Gulshan residence for Tangail around 5pm, according to a news agency.
She is scheduled to stay overnight at Jamuna Resort along the bank of the Jamuna River on the eastern side of Jamuna Bridge in Tangail on Friday.
Later, the BNP chief will start for Jamalpur around 11am on Saturday. She will address the public rally to be arranged by the local unit of the 20-party alliance at Singhajani High School ground in Sadar upazila in the afternoon.
The BNP chief is scheduled to return to the capital on the same day after attending the rally.
The tour is aimed at mobilising public opinion in favour of the BNP-led 20-party’s demand for a fresh election under a non-partisan government.
It is also meant for mounting pressure on the government to stop extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances and repressive acts, and revoking the National Broadcast Policy and 16th amendment to the constitution.
