Staff Correspondent
The main opposition BNP plans to gather huge number of people in the Tuesday's human chain programmes in the capital to press home its demand for restoring caretaker government system. BNP standing committee member Tariqul Islam yesterday informed the party leaders of this and instructed them to take all out preparations to this end. He was addressing the leaders at a joint meeting of BNP Dhaka city unit at its Naya Paltan head office yesterday. The programmes will be held at Mohakhali to Tejgaon, Saatrasta intersection, FDC intersection, Moghbazar, Baily road, Kakrail mosque intersection, Matsya Bhaban intersection, High Court, Shikkha Bhaban, Curzon Hall, Nagar Bhaban, Golap Shah Mazar, North South Road, Bangsal Road, English Road, Dholai Khal intersection and Bahadurshah Park. Slamming Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for her Friday address to the nation, Tariqul said, the prime minister has made people confused through delivering false information about country's progress in the last four years. Blasting a section of business leaders for their advice not to enforce hartal, Tariqul said, “Instead of giving us advice, you [business leaders] put pressure on the prime minister to resolve the crisis [caretaker government issue] which she has created herself.”
