BNP postpones Suhrawardy Udyan rally

Senior Correspondent: Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has postponed its rally scheduled to be held at the capital’s Suhrawardy Udyan on March 29.

The party postponed the rally as Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) authorities did not give permission for the third consecutive time.

BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi Ahmed came up with the party decision at a press briefing at the party’s Nayapaltan central office on Wednesday afternoon.

“Police have resorted to tricks over giving us permission. It’s now clear that they wouldn’t allow us to hold the rally. Denying permission to a major political party like BNP to hold its rally is the manifestation of the government’s autocratic attitude,” he said.
