BNP has announced a six-day fresh programme, including a mass rally in Dhaka, to mount pressure on the government to accept the opposition's one-point demand.

The programmes will begin on October 7 and end with the public rally on October 18 in the capital. 

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir came up with the announcement at the party's road-march programme in front of the party office in the port city's Kazir Dewri on Thursday (October 5). 

He said they will no longer hold road marches as they will observe all programmes mainly in Dhaka in the days to come.

The other opposition parties will also observe a similar programme simultaneously to press home the one-point demand that includes the resignation of the current government, holding the next polls under a neutral government and the unconditional release of Khaleda Zia.
