Budging from its rigid stance, the BNP-led 18-party alliance has finally decided to hold its scheduled rally on Friday at Suhrawardy Udyan in the capital.
BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia will address the rally as the chief guest.
BNP acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir came up with the announcement at a press conference at party chairperson Khaleda Zia’s Gulshan office on Thursday night.
Top leaders of the 18-parlty alliance went to inspect the rally venue on Thursday night.
Earlier in the day, Dhaka Metropolitan Police gave the opposition alliance permission to hold its rally at the Suhrawardy Udyan.
However, the BNP-led combine had been hell-bent on holding the rally in front of BNP Nayapaltan central office.
