Reaffirming that their grand rally will be held peacefully, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Friday (27 October) urged people from all walks of life to participate in it, to send a message to Awami League to step down and hand over power to a neutral government.
Speaking at a press conference at the party's Nayapaltan central office, the BNP leader also warned that the government will be held responsible if it or the ruling party commits any excesses or creates any obstacles to the rally.
He also said they will wait until the last moment if needed, for permission to hold the rally at Nayapaltan and then make a decision in this regard.
"We want to hold a rally at Nayapaltan as we sent a letter to the DMP in this regard. We'll hold this rally in a completely peaceful manner, he said.
The BNP leader said their party still did not get any letter from the DMP permitting the party to hold the programme at Nayapaltan. "We still hope that they (DMP) will not create any obstacles and they'll help to remove all kinds of obstacles in the grand rally."
