BNP-led 18-party alliance has called 36-hour hartal in the district in protest against the “confinement” of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia.
The announcement came from a protest rally held in Bogra town on Tuesday afternoon.
Bogra district unit Organising Secretary Shah Alam informed the Dhaka Tribune.
He said: “We will observe the 36-hour hartal protesting Khaleda Zia’s confinement.”
The leader of the opposition, Khaleda Zia, has remained "confined" inside her Gulshan residence since Saturday, a day before her party's "March for Democracy" programme.
Obstructed by the police from coming out of her residence to join the programme on Sunday, Khaleda extended the march till Monday. But, she did not come outside Monday to join the march.
The authorities said she is being obstructed from stepping outside for security reasons.
