The BNP secretary general will also take the opinions of the journalists about their movement demanding Khaleda be allowed to go abroad for advanced treatment.
On Sunday, Mirza Fakhrul threatened to wage a one-point movement seeking the fall of the government if Khaleda Zia was not released and allowed to go abroad for treatment.
Khaleda, the 76-year-old former prime minister, was readmitted to Evercare Hospital on November 13, six days after she had returned home from the hospital.
The BNP chief's physicians said she had been suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, ophthalmological and dental complications.
They also said Khaleda needed advanced treatment abroad immediately as she was also suffering from critical cardiac, kidney and liver problems while her blood sugar was out of control and hemoglobin level in her blood had dropped.

On behalf of the family, Khaleda's younger brother, Shamim Iskander, submitted an application to the Home Ministry on November 11 urging the government to allow her to go abroad for better treatment.
However, Law Minister Anisul Huq said the government would consider Khaleda Zia’s appeal if she submits a fresh petition after returning to jail.
