Saturday, 13 September 2008
The BNP's Standing Committee will hold a meeting today (Saturday) at the party headquarters in the city's Naya Paltan, reports UNB.
Party chairperson Khaleda Zia is expected to chair the meeting at 3:00 pm, said Mahbubur Rahman, a member of the committee.
There had been no meeting of the Standing Committee, the highest policymaking body in the party, since January 11 last year when President Iajuddin Ahmed declared a state of emergency to quell weeks of street violence over political reforms.
This is originally a 13-member committee but now it has 12 members after KM Obaidur Rahman's death. Currently, 10 members are outside while two others are behind bars.
