BNP meet April 8 to talk latest political situation

The National Executive Committee (NEC) of BNP will hold its long overdue meeting on April 8 in the city to discuss the latest political situation and the party's organisational affairs.
The NEC members and grassroots leaders of the main opposition party will also evaluate the party's overall performance in the ongoing anti-government movement, party insiders said.
BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia will preside over the meeting in the auditorium of Institute of Diploma Engineers, Bangladesh.
Apart from the 386 members of the committee, presidents and general secretaries of BNP district units and members of the chairperson's advisory council will attend the programme, BNP Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi told The Daily Star.
Sources at party's central office said Khaleda Zia will address the inaugural session of the meeting and will discuss organisational matters with the committee members and field-level leaders.
Six organisational secretaries of the party's central committee will place their reports to the meeting for discussion.
This will be the third meeting of the present NEC since its formation following the December 8, 2009 national council of the party.
The committee first met on July 31, 2010 while the second meeting was held on April 23 last year.
According to party constitution, the NEC should meet for at least once in every six months.
Party leaders said they could not organise the meeting on time as they were busy with staging road marches and grand rallies across the country to mount pressure on the government for reinstating the caretaker government system in the constitution.
