Gano Adhikar Parishad, one of the components of the newly floated political alliance Ganatantra Mancha, has boycotted the alliance’s third rally as part of the simultaneous movement in front of the National Press Club on Monday.
Ganatantra Mancha is holding the rally to press home their 10-point demand and protest the power tariff hike. Leaders of the Gano Adhikar Parishad said they are still with the alliance but decided not to join today’s event.
“Parishad’s member secretary Nurul Haque Nur was supposed to join the mass sit-in programme organised by the alliance on 11 January upon his return from abroad. The plan was communicated to other leaders of the alliance, but they finished the sit-in programme hurriedly and Nur could not join it. In protest, the Gano Adhikar Parishad boycotted today’s event,” said joint convener and office coordinator of Gano Adhikar Parishad Shakil Uzzaman.
Beiseds, two top leaders of the Mancha, ASM Abdur Rob and Mahmudur Rahman Manna, did not also join the rally due to illness.
BNP and Ganatantra Mancha started a simultaneous movement against the government in December. Two other political alliances, one of 12 parties and another of 11 parties, are also taking part in the BNP-led movement.
