BNP leaders, activists start gathering at Golapbagh field

BNP leaders and activists started gathering at Golapbagh field in Capital Dhaka's Sayedabad area soon after police allowed the party to hold its mass rally on the ground.

Around 1,000 BNP leaders and activists were seen at the field at about 4:30 pm on Friday and they were chanting various slogans there.

Earlier this afternoon, BNP Vice Chairman Dr AZM Zahid Hossain said they finally got permission from Dhaka Metropolitan Police to hold its December 10 Dhaka divisional mass rally at Golapbagh field.

He said they wanted to hold the rally at the Kamalapur Stadium but the stadium authorities told them to consider any other place since there are games. 

Then, they sought permission for Golapbagh ground and DMP nodded, he added.
