BNP remains firm in holding rally at Nayapaltan

BNP on Thursday said it informed police about its firm position to hold the October 28 grand rally at Nayapaltan in Dhaka.

The party said this in reply to a letter sent to it by the Dhaka Metropolitan Police on Wednesday night.

In the letter, DMP requested BNP to propose two alternative venues besides Nayapaltan and sought some information about the rally. 

In reply, the party sent a letter to the officer in-charge of Paltan Police Station this afternoon, saying that all preparations to hold the program in front of the party's Nayapaltan central office have already been completed and it's not possible to go to any other venue.

Earlier on Saturday, BNP sought permission from DMP to hold the rally at Nayapaltan.

On October 18, BNP announced to hold a grand rally in Dhaka on October 28 as part of its one-point movement to oust the government.
