Staff Reporter :
The BNP has decided to hold its rally in the capital on Sunday demanding the release of its ailing Chairperson Khaleda Zia from jail.
Party Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi disclosed it at a press conference in the party’s Nayapaltan central office on Saturday.
“We’ll hold a rally either in front of our Nayapaltan central office or Jatiya Press Club on Sunday at 2pm,” said Rizvi.
The BNP leader said, they have already sent a
 letter to the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) authorities seeking permission to stage the programme at any of the two venues.
He called upon their party leaders and activists to make the rally a success with their spontaneous participation.
A party leader wishing anonymity said, they will hold the rally at Nayapaltan, and that will be the best.
On November 19, the party announced to stage rallies across the country, including the capital, on Saturday, demanding Khaleda’s release.
Replying to a question, Rizvi said that the DMP authorities requested them to reschedule their rally in the city for another day as Jubo League’s council was held on Saturday at Suhrawardy Udyan in the capital. “That’s why we have decided to hold our rally on Sunday.
He said, Khaleda Zia’s health condition is deteriorating day by day, but the government is neither taking any step for her release on bail nor arranging her proper treatment out of its ‘political vengeance’.
