BNP top echelon on countrywide tour to create public opinion against government ‘misdeeds’
Grand rally in Dhaka in April likely
Dhaka, Mar 6 (UNB) - Top leaders of opposition BNP are on countrywide organizational tours to prepare the ‘field of movement’ through strengthening party’s grassroots units and creating public opinion against what they say government’s ‘misdeeds and failure to check price hike and deterioration of law and order.
The campaign is also designed to mobilize people against the government decision dropping the name of late President Ziaur Rahman from Zia International Airport and the Awami League government’s ‘repression on the opposition’.
On February 25 last, BNP national standing committee, the highest policymaking body of the party, at a meeting decided to form 19 teams headed by the party’s senior leaders to visit all the districts team-wise to hold workers’ meetings and public rallies.
The standing-committee meeting also set April 7 as the deadline to accomplish the cross-country organizational tours. BNP chairperson and ex-PM Khaleda Zia will visit all the divisional headquarters and address public meetings during this period.
When contacted over phone, BNP standing committee member Nazrul Islam Khan told UNB today (Saturday) that organizational tours by the senior leaders have already started to do the spadework for their planned anti-government movement.
Replying to a question he said most of the standing committee members and some vice-chairmen have been assigned to the 19 teams for the organizational tours.
He will take up his assigned responsibility to visit Bogra and Joypurhat on March 9.
Barrister Moudud Ahmed, another standing committee member, told UNB that he has been assigned to cover Dhaka, Narayanganj, Narsingdi and Munshiganj districts. To begin with, he will go to Narayanganj on March 12 and address a public meeting there.
Another standing committee member, Lt Gen (retd) Mahbubur Rahman, said he will start his tour of Dinajpur, Panchagarh and Thakurgaon districts by the third week of this month.
BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia will go on her visit to divisional headquarters and address public meetings after the 19 teams finish the groundwork for setting the stage, said one member of the standing committee.
He said, “Possibly the BNP chairperson will embark on her organizational tour after April 10, and after completing the visit to five divisional cities, she will address a grand public meeting in Dhaka city.”
