Jatiya Oikya Front chief Dr Kamal Hossain will skip the alliance’s rally in Rajshahi due to illness
The alliance is scheduled to hold a political rally at Madrasa Maidan in Rajshahi on Friday afternoon to press home their seven-point demand.
Confirming the matter to the Dhaka Tribune Oikya Prokriya member ABM Mostafa Amin said Dr Kamal was also unsure of attending the recent dialogue with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. However, he later attended it.
Gono Forum General Secretary Mostofa Mohsin Montu told the Dhaka Tribune that Dr Kamal’s wife Dr Hameeda Hossain informed him around 2am that her husband had come down with flu and hence will not be able to attend the rally.
Earlier, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said it will be the alliance’s fourth public rally.
The alliance held its maiden rally in Sylhet on October 24, with the second one held in Chittagong on October 27. The third and latest rally was held at Suhrawardy Udyan in Dhaka on November 6.
