20-party to hold demos in July
The BNP-led 20-party alliance will hold demonstrations in metropolitan areas across the country, including the capital, next month for the release of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, the party said.
The alliance’s coordinator Nazrul Islam Khan made the announcement after a meeting with the parties at the BNP chief’s Gulshan office last night.
“The decision has been taken to hold programmes in different metropolitans, including Dhaka, in July to protest the imprisonment of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia and to demand her immediate release,” he said, while speaking to journalists.
He added, “Specific decisions in this regard will be taken at the next meeting.”
Replying to a question, he said, “The 20-party alliance is a big power. It has strong unity and there is no crisis.”
BNP Secretary General Fakhrul Islam Alamgir presided over the meeting, in which they discussed different issues including the current political situation and the national budget.
Representatives of different components of the alliance, except the Jamaat-e-Islami, were present in the meeting.
