On Friday afternoon (27 October), BNP followers were seen gathering at Nayapaltan ahead of Saturday’s rally in large numbers.
Though the party is yet to get permission for its Saturday's (28 October) grand rally in the capital, the leaders and activists of BNP and its associate bodies started gathering in front of the party's Nayapaltan central office on Friday afternoon.
Many BNP leaders and activists who reached Dhaka from different parts of the country joined Jummah prayers in mosques around Nayapaltan. Even, many of them offered prayers on the streets at Nayapaltan.
After the Jummah prayers, they squatted on the street in front of the party office amid the presence of a huge number of law enforcers.
The opposition followers were seen chanting various anti-government slogans in front of the BNP office.
They said they want to hold the rally peacefully with the presence of thousands of people in a bid to send out a message to the government to step down and take steps for holding the next polls under the non-partisan administration.
The grand rally of BNP is scheduled to begin at 2 pm on Saturday.
