BNP to hold its final election rally in Dhaka on Feb 8
BNP will hold its final election rally on Sunday in the capital on February 8, ahead of the national election.
The rally will take place at the party’s central office in the capital’s Nayapaltan area at 2:00 pm, with BNP Chairman Tarique Rahman set to address the gathering as the chief guest, reports UNB.
BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi Ahmed shared the information with reporters on Thursday morning after a joint meeting at the party’s Nayapaltan central office.
Rizvi said all preparations have been completed to make the final election rally a success.
He said Tarique Rahman will speak at the event, while BNP candidates from Dhaka and nearby areas will also be present.
Expressing hope for a peaceful election, Rizvi said voters are expected to be able to exercise their right to vote without fear.
He said BNP has always come to power with support from people and that despite severe repression, the party could not be suppressed.
“The people of the country see the sheaf of paddy not just as a symbol, but as an emotion. Carrying that spirit, people will cast their votes on February 12,” Rizvi added.
