Opposition leader Khaleda Zia on Monday night convened a meeting of the BNP parliamentary party.
The meeting is due to start at 8pm at Khaleda’s Gulshan party office in the city, said Zainul Abdin Farroque, opposition chief whip.
Earlier in the day, Khaleda Zia proposed forming a 10-member caretaker government to oversee the upcoming national elections.
According to her proposal, the government would be comprised of five members selected by AL and five by BNP from 1996 and 2001 caretaker governments, as those two caretaker governments were widely considered neutral.
She said: “We propose forming new caretaker government comprised of 10 members from the 1996 and 2001 caretaker governments, as both parties won the national polls under these two caretaker governments. The polls were credible and accepted by the people."
She made the statement while addressing the nation at a press conference at the city’s Westin Hotel.
