5. Keep regular contact with the central office of BNP and report about every single incident.
6. If any news on abduction comes, gather in the place with as much people as you can and try to resist jointly.
7. If anyone tries to pick anyone in the name of law enforcing agencies, be ensure of their identity and try to know about the place, where the detainee was taken.
8. Go to the place where the detainee has been taken and talk to the responsible persons and try to know why s/he was detained. Try to know also when s/he will be sent to court. If possible take journalists and eminent persons.

While issuing the suggestions, Fakhrul asked the party leaders and activists of all tires to implement the “organisational red alert.”
He said: "Apart from the organisational red alert, we want the cooperation of the people of the country for ensuring the security of the people of the country.
We are urging them to wage protest and resistance. We want a safe, civilised and democratic society and for that come and be united," he said.
Pointing to the recent abductions and killings, BNP chief Khaleda Zia on Thursday said she would come down to the streets herself to move for the security of the people. “No one is safe now.”
