Awami League will not hold any rally on December 10 in Dhaka, marking International Human Rights Day, as the Election Commission (EC) did not give permission for the outdoor event, Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader said today.
“We sought permission from the Election Commission to hold a grand rally in front of Baitul Mukarram National Mosque’s South Gate, but the EC did not accept it. We have changed our decision to hold the rally there as we do not want to violate the electoral code of conduct,” he said.
Quader came up with the party’s decision while talking to reporters after paying tribute at the grave of Shaheed Suhrawardy, marking his 60th death anniversary.
He also informed that AL will hold an indoor programme marking International Human Rights Day on December 10.
The AL leader also said that boycotting the upcoming general election and calling blockades and hartals are not democratic behaviour.
