BNP body to coordinate agitation
The main opposition BNP formed a three-member liaison committee led by its acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir to coordinate agitation programmes among the four-party alliance and like minded parties ahead of its anti-government movement.
Two other members of the committee are standing committee member Nazrul Islam Khan and Joint Secretary General Mohammad Shahjahan.
“The liaison committee will ensure coordination among the alliance and like-minded parties aiming to forge a stronger movement,” party's Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said yesterday.
He was speaking at a press briefing at the party's central office in the city's Nayapaltan after disclosing the names of the committee members.
Ruhul said the BNP chairperson formed this committee following the decision of a meeting of the four party alliance held on September 12.
Leader of the Opposition in Parliament Khaleda Zia will declare the agitation programme at a rally scheduled to be held on September 27, demanding immediate resignation of the government and a fresh parliamentary election under a non-party caretaker government.
The alliance partners Jamaat-e-Islami, Bangladesh Jatiya Party and Islami Oikyo Jote, also demanding restoration of the caretaker government system, will attend the rally.
The caretaker government system was annulled from the constitution by the fifteenth amendment. Khaleda already said her party will not participate in the next election if it is not held under a non-party caretaker government.
