Oikyafront to hold road march if dialogue aborts, Fakhrul warns

The Jatiya Oikyafront is going to hold a road march towards Rajshahi the day after tomorrow if the dialogue with ruling Awami League will abort on November 8, BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir warned.

“If tomorrow’s dialogue with government goes in vain we will hold a public rally there in Rajshahi,” he said while addressing the Oikyafront’s congregation in the capital’s Suhrawardy Udyan on Tuesday.

Oikya Front had held its first dialogue with Awami League-led 14-Party Alliance on November 1.

Fakhrul said that hundreds of thousands of BNP leaders and activists had been accused in 4,371 cases filed across the country till now since September 1.

Apart from Fakhrul, the other BNP leaders who also addressed the rally included the party’s Standing Committee members Moudud Ahmed, Mirza Abbas, Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain and Gayeshwar Chandara Roy.
