The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) today (July 28) announced that the party and the other like-minded opposition political parties would hold sit-in programmes at all the Dhaka entry points on Saturday.

The party's Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir made the announcement from the party's grand rally in front of its Nayapaltan office.

Fakhrul said that the opposition political parties would hold the sit-in programmes from 11:00am to 4:00pm on Saturday.

Besides, the other like-minded opposition political parties would hold sit-in programmes at all the Dhaka entry points tomorrow.

Earlier today, BNP's grand rally started in front of the party's Naya Paltan central office around 2:00pm for its 'one-point' demand to topple the government.

The rally was organised to press home their one-point movement -- demanding a non-partisan neutral polls-time government.

BNP announced the grand rally on July 22. The rally was primarily scheduled to take place on Thursday (July 27). 

Later, the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has given permission to both the Awami League (AL) and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) to hold their rallies at their preferred locations subject to 23 conditions.
