The BNP is now taking preparation to hold the National Revolution and Solidarity Day rally on November 8 at the city’s Nayapaltan. Since the government turned down the BNP’s request for Suhrawardy Udyan as a venue, the party high command chose Nayapaltan as alternative place. The party leaders said that they had approached the government for permission in front of their party office at Nayapaltan.
In case of negative response the party will organise protest rally, sources said.
“We are prepared well to organise a big peaceful rally. So the government should not create obstacle,” Gayeshwar Chandra Roy, the Standing Committee Member of the BNP told The New Nation yesterday.
When contacted, Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, the Senior Joint-Secretary General told The New Nation on Friday, “We have sent letter to the Administration seeking permission to hold rally in front of our party office at Nayapaltan.”
Sources said, the BNP has been taking preparation for long to hold the rally to observe the day. The leaders at first sought permission to arrange the rally at the Suhrawardy Udyan on November 7. But some of the ruling Awami League leaders vowed to resist the programme on the day. Then the BNP on Thursday fixed November 8 for the rally. Later the Dhaka Metropolitan Police said that they would not allow any party to hold rally in the Suhrawardy Udyan. In this circumstance, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Friday said they are seeking alternative venue to hold the programme.
He condemned the decision of not according permission for the programme in the Suhrawardy Udyan.
He made the comment after placing wreath at the late President Ziaur Rahman’s grave yesterday with the newly appointed leaders of the Shwechchhasebak Dal, an associate body of the party.
BNP Senior Joint-General Secretary Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, central leaders Khairul Kabir Khokon, Fazlul Haque Milan, Sarfat Ali Sapu, Shwechchhasebak Dal President Shafiul Bari Babu, General Secretary Abdul Quader Bhuiyan Jewel and Senior Vice-President Mustafizur Rahman, among others, were present.
