The meeting is likely to discuss future strategies under prevailing circumstances
BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia has convened a meeting of the leaders of 18-party alliance on Monday evening.
The meeting will take place at Khaleda’s Gulshan office at 8:30pm, Syrul Kabir Khan, an official of Khaleda’s press wing told the Dhaka Tribune.
The meeting’s agenda will include discussion over the country’s political situation, both pre-polls and current, and how the alliance’s future courses of actions will be devised, sources said.
The meeting with the 18-party leaders is going to take place after the new government has taken shape and adopted its responsibilities to the fullest.
BNP chief Khaleda Zia will also hold another meeting with the Saudi Arabian ambassador to Bangladesh around 7:30pm, he added.
The BNP, who is no longer an opposition in the parliament, has backtracked from agitation programmes – hartals and blockades – for the time being.
The alliance has been staging demonstration programmes demanding polls under the non-party government.
The alliance boycotted the January 5 polls that were held under the all parties’ government.
The 18-party termed the polls and formation of new government as illegal and unconstitutional.
