Earlier, the party MPs were asked to resign from parliament as the party announced a 10-point demand including the dissolution of parliament at the rally.
The BNP held its last rally, where it announced its demands for launching a simultaneous movement.
In October, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, who is currently in police custody, said MPs from his party were ready to resign from parliament as their main goal was to restore democracy by ousting the Awami League government from power.
In response, Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader said parliament would not stop functioning if the BNP lawmakers submitted their resignation.
