Bangladesh National Awami Party (NAP) Chairman Jebel Rahman Gani and National Democratic Party (NDP) Chairman Khandaker Golam Mortuza have scheduled a meeting with Bikalpa Dhara Bangladesh President Dr Badruddoza Chowdhury.
“Leaders of NAP and NDP will meet former president Dr Badruddoza Chowdhury at his residence, in Baridhara, in Dhaka at 4:30pm, on Thursday,” stated a press release sent by Badruddoza Chowdhury’s press secretary Jahangir Alam.
Earlier, NAP and NDP announced that they are leaving the BNP-led 20-party alliance at a joint press conference in Gulshan on Tuesday—accusing BNP of forming a coalition with the key actors of the 1/11 changeover.
At the press conference, Jebel and Khandaker said BNP leaders told them, at a recent meeting, that the alliance is a liability for them.
They also said that the circumstances for the formation of Jatiya Oikya Front, a political platform, were unacceptable for the two parties.
On October 13, BNP, Jatiya Oikya Prokriya, Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (JSD-Rob), and Nagorik Oikya launched a new political platform called Jatiya Oikya Front ahead of the 11th national election—excluding Bikalpa Dhara.
