Khaleda Zia
A day after a meeting with her party’s policymakers, BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia will sit with the top leaders of the 18-Party Alliance Wednesday night to discuss the country’s latest political situation and finalise the next course of action.
The meeting will begin at about 8:30pm at the BNP chief’s Gulshan office.
Party insiders said Khaleda, also the leader of the opposition in parliament, is likely to discuss various crucial issues, including the country’s latest political situation, caretaker government issue and anti-government campaign strategies, with her alliance partners, to press home their demand for restoration of the caretaker government.
Issues like Khaleda’s tours abroad, Jamaat’s recent agitation and the alliance’s November 28 grand rally also come up for discussion at the meeting.
Earlier on Tuesday night, Khaleda had a one-hour-and-forty-five minute meeting with the BNP national standing committee members at her Gulshan office and decided to stage the opposition’s grand rally, which was earlier scheduled to be held in the city on November 22 and 28.
Khaleda Zia will address the rally and announce the next course of action programmes.
The BNP policymakers also chalked out an elaborate programme to observe the Martyred Intellectuals’ Day and the Victory Day.
The Awami League-led grand alliance government scrapped the provision of holding general election under a non-party, neutral caretaker government through the 15th Amendment to the Constitution in June last year. BNP has been on a movement since then.
