Police yesterday gave the BNP “verbal permission” to hold its March 12 grand rally in front of the party's central office at Nayapaltan in the capital.
Leaders of the main opposition party said the rally would be held at Nayapaltan, as the authorities concerned had not permitted them to use Manik Mia Avenue or Paltan Maidan as the venue.
Meanwhile, BNP acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir yesterday said the March 12 rally would be “the beginning of a war” to protect the people, independence and sovereignty of the country.
Speaking at a meeting at the Diploma Engineers' Institute in the city's Kakrail, he urged all to unite to make the programme successful. Liberal Democratic Party organised the meeting.
Fakhrul said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had scrapped the caretaker government system from the constitution as she knew that her party would not be able to come to power if the next parliamentary election was held under a non-party government.
The opposition would not have waged a movement had the caretaker system not been cancelled, he added.
Referring to Hasina's recent remarks that the main opposition's grand rally was part of a conspiracy to commit genocide, he said, “The BNP does not believe in genocide. Rather, it's the Awami League that committed genocide after the Liberation War by killing 40 thousand political workers. The prime minister herself once asked her party men to bring 10 bodies against one."
LDP presidium member Redwan Ahmed presided over the meeting.
