BNP denied Paltan, Manik Miah Avenue


DHAKA NEWS

The BNP will hold its mass rally at its Naya Paltan central office on March 12 as it did not get permission to use Paltan Maidan or Manik Miah Avenue.

BNP vice chairman Sadek Hossain Khoka, also the convenor of Dhaka city unit, said on Friday that the authorities did not issue the party permission to hold the programme at either of the requested venues.

He was addressing a press briefing at the party office on the update of the much-talked-about rally being organised to mount pressure on the government to reinstate the caretaker government system.

The BNP party sought the permission about two weeks ago.

The party and its political allies have already started drumming up support to make the rally a success.

In a counter move, the ruling Awami League and its allies in the 14-party combine have planned a “grand rally” on March 14 in the capital.
