BNP will hold a 'mass procession' in the capital on Friday (August 11) afternoon as part of their one-point simultaneous movement to force the government to quit and hold the next election under a non-party caretaker government.

Party's secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir made the announcement at a press conference at the party’s Nayapaltan central office on Wednesday.

BNP’s Dhaka south and north city units will bring out separate processions after Juma prayers to press home their one-point demand, he said.

The parties who have been carrying out the simultaneous movement will also observe a similar programme from their respective positions, he added.

Saying that their procession will be held peacefully, the BNP leader hoped that the government will not obstruct the programme.

Mirza Fakhrul warned that the government will be held responsible for any untoward incident if it obstructs the processions.
