Khaleda's mass contact in capital Dec 26 for CG

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia will conduct a mass contact campaign in the capital on December 26 for the reinstatement of the caretaker government system before the next parliamentary elections.
During the daylong campaign she will address a few roadside rallies at different areas of the capital.
"Our chairperson will conduct the campaign to drum up public support for the caretaker government system," said Tariqul Islam, a senior BNP leader.
The party will also stage a demonstration on December 23. He was briefing reporters after a meeting at the party's central office in Naya Paltan. The meeting also demanded unconditional release of BNP leaders including its acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir.
BNP Joint Secretary General Rizvi has been living at the party office since December 8 to avoid being arrested.
A case was filed against him and Fakhrul, along with many others in connection with the violence on December 9 during the 18-party alliance's countrywide blockade.
Fakhrul was arrested on December 10.
Freedom fighters will hold a rally tomorrow at Mahanagar Nattyo Mancho.
"At least ten thousand freedom fighters will attend the programme,” Tariqul said.
The BNP leaders bitterly criticised the government for releasing top criminal Bikash, claiming that killers were being released to foil opposition's demonstration and to kill its leaders.
Meanwhile, police yesterday did not allow Jatiyatabadi Sangskritik Sangstha (Jasas) to hold a cultural programme in front of BNP's office at Naya Paltan.
