Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has announced fresh programmes to mark its 46th founding anniversary programme on September 1.

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir made the announcement at a press conference at the party’s Nayapaltan central office on Thursday (August 29) noon.

At the press conference, he said the party will celebrate its founding anniversary programme on a limited scale due to the recent floods that hit at least 11 south eastern districts of the country.

Fakhrul said only wreaths will be placed at the grave of BNP’s founder late President Ziaur Rahman at Sher-e-Bangla Nagar in the capital On September 1.

The party flag will be kept at half-mast at the party office. Besides, prayers and Milad mahfil will be held on the day.
