BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has said the government does not want the BNP to stage rally in Nayapaltan on 10 December out of panic.
"They (Govt) don't want to allow us to rally in Nayapaltan as they are having nightmares seeing our divisional rallies," he said while addressing BNP's ninth divisional rally at the Central Eidgah in Rajshahi Saturday.
The BNP leader reiterated that his party will participate in upcoming national election under a neutral government.
"Sheikh Hasina's government must resign, parliament must be dissolved, and a new election commission must be formed," he said
Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir also claimed that the 10 December rally will take place at Nayapaltan.
"We've held rallies there before and will hold it once again peacefully," he added.
Fakhrul alleged that the government itself is staging various incidents and accusing BNP workers in false cases.
