The BNP has announced a six-day programme to press home their demand to release party chairperson Khaleda Zia and jailed leaders, to reduce prices of daily commodities, and cancelling the January 7 election.
BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said revealed the program at a press conference at the Nayapaltan central party office in the capital on Sunday.
This will be the BNP`s third round of street programme after the 12th parliamentary election held on January 7.
"BNP will distribute leaflets and hold mass contact programmes in all metropolitans on February 13 and 14. On February 16, the party will organise prayers at mosques across the country seeking peace for those killed along the borders with Myanmar and India," Rizvi said.
He said the party will distribute leaflets and hold mass contact programmes across all district towns on February 17.
On February 18 and 19, party leaders and activists will distribute leaflets and hold mass contact programmes in upazilas, thanas, municipalities and unions, Rizvi added.
Earlier on January 27, BNP observed a black-flag procession programme in all metropolitan cities, including in Dhaka, demanding the cancellation of the 12th parliament and protesting the price hike of essential commodities.
Later, BNP announced to take out processions holding black flags across the country, including in the capital on January 30, the first day the 12th parliament went into session, demanding a fresh election under a non-party government.
However, the police did not allow the BNP to take out processions at seven points in the capital on that day as the party was not permitted to observe the programme on the first day of the new parliament session.
