BNP to hold 7 November procession in Dhaka, Tarique Rahman to inaugurate from Nayapaltan
The BNP will hold a procession in the capital Dhaka on Saturday, 7 November, to mark National Revolution and Solidarity Day.
Party chairman and Prime Minister Tarique Rahman will attend the procession. He will inaugurate it in front of the BNP central office at Nayapaltan.
The party's acting secretary general, Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, gave details of the programme at a press conference held on Friday, 6 November, at the BNP central office in Nayapaltan.
He said the procession will start from the BNP central office at Nayapaltan and turn right near the Chief Justice's residence.
It will then pass in front of Hotel InterContinental, go through Banglamotor and Farmgate, and end at Manik Mia Avenue.
Before that, at 8:30 in the morning, Prime Minister Tarique Rahman, together with senior party leaders, will pay tribute at the grave of Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman, the proclaimer of independence, and at the grave of BNP chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia.
At the press conference, Rizvi said the BNP's seven-day programme for National Revolution and Solidarity Day began on 5 November. As part of it, a programme has already been held in Chattogram metropolis.
On Saturday, processions will be held in most districts and metropolises of the country. In addition, the party's various affiliated and associate organisations will hold discussion meetings, put up posters and carry out other programmes.
He said various political parties, alliances, cultural organisations and people from different classes and professions who believe in the spirit of 7 November have taken programmes to observe the day with due dignity.
Rizvi said Sheikh Hasina's government, fearing the spirit of 7 November, had stopped observing the day at state level. The BNP and like-minded parties have been observing it all this time. After a long time, the day will again be observed at state and national level.
He also said the spirit of 7 November is not limited to political leaders and activists; interest and appeal for the day have also been created among ordinary people.
