Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has announced a two-day black-flag-procession programme for January 26 and 27 demanding the cancellation of the 12th parliament and protesting the growing price hikes in essential commodities.
BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi announced the programme at a press conference at the party's Nayapaltan central office.
He said the programme will be held on January 26 in all district headquarters and January 27 in all metropolitan cities.
This is the BNP's first street programme after the 12th parliamentary election held on January 7.
“We’ll take out processions holding black flags to protest against the unbridled increase in commodity prices, alongside our demand for the release of all political prisoners, including our leaders Begum Khaleda Zia, Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, Standing Committee members Mirza Abbas and Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury, withdrawal of all false cases and the annulment of the illegal parliament,” Rizvi said.
