AL to hold countrywide ‘peace rallies’ on Sunday

The ruling Awami League will hold ‘peace rallies’ across the country tomorrow (Sunday).

Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader announced the programs from the party's rally at the south gate of Baitul Mukarram mosque in the capital on Saturday.

"There will be a peace rally tomorrow in every city, ward, district and upazila. We want peace. We want peaceful elections. We want peace even after the elections. And we will respond to their [BNP] attacks," he said.

"BNP is a murderous and terrorists' party, they have returned to their old destructive activities today," he added.

He also said no one will get off scot-free after today's attacks on the chief justice's residence, as well as the death of a policeman during the clash with BNP men in Fakirapool intersection.
