BNP seeks fresh permission from DMP for rally on Sunday
BNP yesterday sought fresh permission from the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) authorities to hold its public rally at Suhrawardy Udyan on Sunday.
A BNP delegation, led by its Publicity Affairs Secretary Shahid Uddin Chowdhury Annie, met the DMP authorities around noon yesterday and submitted a letter seeking permission for holding the rally on Sunday.
Annie told The Daily Star that Acting DMP Commissioner Shahabuddin Qureshi requested them to change the schedule of their rally and submit a fresh application for the permission.
“We will hold the rally either on Saturday or Sunday subject to permission from the DMP authorities,” Annie said.
Earlier in the day, BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi at a press conference at the party's Nayapaltan central office said they are waiting for permission from the DMP authorities as the Public Works Department gave them clearance for holding the rally at Suhrawardy Udyan on Saturday.
