Like-minded parties including Jamaat-e-Islami and Bangladesh Jatiya Party (BJP) and leaders and workers of different professional bodies will join the programme aiming at staging an anti-government showdown.
Nazrul Islam Khan, member of the BNP standing committee, yesterday said its Chairperson Khaleda Zia will present at the four-hour programme which is due to begin at 10:00am on the premises of the Engineers Institution, Bangladesh.
