BNP postpones Thursday’s march program

BNP’s march program, which was scheduled to be held on Thursday, has been postponed out of solidarity with the Turkey and Syria earthquake victims.

BNP acting office secretary Sayed Imran Saleh Prince said, “Our senior leaders had a meeting on Wednesday night and decided to postpone the march, expressing the party's profound shock and sympathy as a huge number of people were killed in the earthquake in Turkey and Syria”.

The new date for the march will be announced later.

Bangladesh will observe a day of state mourning on Thursday.

BNP's leaders and activists were supposed to march towards the Jatiya Press Club (JPC) from Gopibagh at 2pm on Thursday.

The actual motive behind this march program is to press for the 10-point demand.

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir announced the second phase of their party's march program on Tuesday.
