BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia yesterday asked party leaders to conduct a massive countrywide campaign, inspiring people to attend a peaceful rally scheduled for March 12 in the capital to pressurise the government into restoring the caretaker government system.
Warning of possible provocation from the government's side, she advised the party men to work hard with patience to face any situation and hold the rally peacefully.
“The government is trying to provoke our party men but they will not succeed. We will hold our rally peacefully,” said Khaleda while holding a preparatory discussion with party leaders over the rally at BNP's Gulshan office.
“We will hold our programme peacefully. But we will take position wherever we are obstructed on way to attend the rally,” Goyeshwar Chandra Roy, member of the standing committee, told reporters after the meeting.
