Jhenaidah BNP leaders, activists on way to Khulna to join rally
To make BNP's mega rally a success tomorrow, party leaders and activists began journeying from Jhenaidah, Chuadanga, Meherpur, Magura and Kushtia in whatever way they could manage.
About 600-700 leaders and activists have already started towards Khulna from Jhenaidah on motorcycles, reports our Jhenaidah correspondent quoting some of the party leaders.
For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel. Six-seven thousand leaders and workers from nearby districts are also scheduled to reach Khulna ahead of the scheduled time tomorrow to make the rally successful, party leaders hoped.
"I will go to Khulna tonight to join the rally in any way possible," said BNP activist Yunus Ali.
Activists Alam Hossain, Takbir Rahman and Jahidul Islam also said the same.
Saiful Islam Firoz, senior joint general secretary of Swechchhasebak Dal and BNP candidate from Jhenaidah-4 constituency said, "Our leaders and activists are on theirl way to Khulna. They are being blocked in various ways. The bus services have been stopped. As a result, our activists are facing a lot of problems. We condemn this heinous act by the government."
"Had our leaders and activists not been obstructed, about 10,000 people from Jhenaidah would have spontaneously joined the rally. But due to this tactic by the government, they are being hindered in various ways," said Jhenaidah District BNP President Md Abdul Majid.
"Around half of our leaders and workers have already reached Khulna by trucks, Nasimon, Karimon, microbuses, motorbikes and trains. The rest will reach by tonight. We will make the rally a success in any way, Insha Allah," he added.
