Bangladesh Nationalist Party chairperson Khaleda Zia is going to Brahmanbaria on Tuesday to address a public rally there in bid to mobilise public support in favour of a fresh election under a non-party neutral administration.
The local unit of the BNP-led 20-party alliance will organise the rally at Niaz Mohammad High School in the district sadar. The rally will begin around 3:00pm.
The BNP chief will start her journey for Brahmanbaria from her Gulshan residence around 11:00am.
She is scheduled to return to the capital on the same day after attending the rally, party sources said.
This will be Khaleda’s third district tour after the January-5 election boycotted by the BNP-led opposition alliance.

She is also scheduled to visit Jamalpur on Saturday (Sept 27) to address a public rally at a local High Scholl ground demanding the government hold a fresh election under a non-party government, stop extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances and repressive acts, and revoke the National Broadcast Policy and 16th amendment to the constitution.
The BNP chief will also meet the recent flood victims and distribute relief materials among them.
On September 18, the 20-party alliance rescheduled its two public rallies.
