BNP has announced to hold protest rally across the country, including in the capital on December 30 marking ‘democracy-killing day’ to observe the first anniversary of the 11th parliamentary election.
BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said this on Monday at a press conference at the party’s central office at Nayapaltan.
Marking the day, they will hoist black flags at all the party offices across the country, including Nayapaltan central office, said Rizvi.
“BNP will observe December 30 as ‘democracy killing day’. We’ve decided to hold protest rallies across the country on that day,” he said.
Earlier, on Saturday, the party declared to observe December 30 as democracy killing day denouncing the December 30, 2018, general election. Rizvi said, they have already sought permission from police to hold a rally either at Suhrawardy Udyan or in front of their Nayapaltan central office in the capital on December 30.
Earlier on Saturday night, BNP Standing Committee members at a meeting decided to observe December 30 as the ‘democracy-killing day’.
BNP along with Gonoforum and some other parties joined the national election in alliance under the banner of Jatiya Oikyafront. BNP bagged six seats while Gonoforum two in the election.
The party and its alliances turned down the election results bringing various irregularities, including ‘massive vote robbery and night-time ballot stuffing’.
They have also been demanding reelection annulling the December-30 voting since the announcement of the results.
However, the eight Oikyafront MPs joined Parliament.
