Update : 22 Jul 2023, 06:53 PM

The BNP has announced mass rally for July 27 to press home its one-point demand to oust the government.

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir made the announcement while addressing the youth rally program as the chief guest at Suhrawardy Udyan in Dhaka on Saturday.

He said the rally will be held in the capital at 2pm as part of their simultaneous movement.

Fakhrul, however, did not mention the name of the rally venue.

The BNP leader called upon people from all walks of life to join the rally spontaneously to hasten the fall of the current regime.

The other like-minded parties and alliances also announced to hold rallies on the same day in different parts of the country.

Leaders and activists of BNP gathered at the Suhrawardy Udyan in the capital to hold their youth rally.

Saturday's gathering is the last youth rally of three associate bodies of BNP.

On June 2, three BNP associate bodies announced six youth rallies in Chittagong, Bogra, Khulna, Barisal, Sylhet, and Dhaka to drum up the young generation's support for the ongoing movement demanding holding the next polls under a caretaker government.

Before the formal start of the scheduled youth rally of three associate bodies of BNP, the stage collapsed when Jatiyatabadi Jubo Dal president Sultan Salahuddin Tuku was speaking to formally open the rally around 1:50pm.

Several people, including a journalist, were injured and taken to the hospital.

Though the rally was scheduled to begin at 2pm, the organizers could not start as of 3pm. The party leaders were seen repeatedly urging the followers to sit down on the ground and maintain discipline.  

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir stepped on the collapsed stage around 2:45pm.

Youth leaders and activists from various parts of Dhaka wearing different coloured caps and carrying banners, festoons, placards and portraits of the party's top leaders have started gathering at the venue in processions since morning.
