The Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has given permission for the peace rally of the three Awami League associated organizations and the grand rally of BNP, both scheduled to be held on Friday.
BNP will hold its rally in front of their Naya Paltan party office, while Awami League`s associate bodies will hold the peace rally at the south gate of Baitul Mukarram National Mosque.
Khandker Golam Faruq, Commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) informed the matter to the journalists on Thursday afternoon at DMP Headquarters.
On Wednesday, BNP decided to defer its grand rally, scheduled for Thursday, to Friday.
BNP wanted to hold the grand rally in Dhaka’s Nayapaltan area as it was unwilling to hold the programme at Golapbagh ground as suggested by the police authorities, said Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir while speaking at a press briefing held at the BNP Chairperson’s Gulshan office.
The massive peace rally by three associate wings of ruling Awami League – Juba League, Swechasebak League and Chhatra League – is aimed at protesting alleged attacks on their leaders and activists in different parts of the country. It was suggested by the DMP to organize this programme at old trade-fair ground of city` Agargaon.
On July 29, the Shia community will observe the religious festival and bring out Tajia processions.
