In line with its movement against the January 7 general election and the government, the BNP will continue distributing leaflets and a mass campaign to create awareness among the people to boycott the polls on Sunday and Monday.
Its allies will also observe the program as they did in the past.
The party’s Senior Joint Secretary General, Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, announced the program at a virtual press briefing on Saturday afternoon.
It came as the BNP’s previously announced three-day program ended on Saturday.
In the briefing, he said that the Awami League usurped power through unprecedented rigging and night-time ballot stuffing on this day on December 30, 2018. “We condemn it and express our hatred towards them.”
Rizvi while circulating leaflets in Dhaka on Saturday morning accused the ruling party and detectives of killing people through arson attacks.
The BNP along with nearly three dozen opposition political parties have been carrying out a simultaneous movement since December 10 last year to force the current government to quit and hold the 12th parliamentary election under a non-partisan neutral administration.
The BNP’s movement lost its momentum following clashes with law enforcers centring on the party’s grand rally on October 28 as many senior leaders, including its secretary general, Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, were arrested while many others went into hiding in the face of a crackdown by law enforcement.
However, the BNP and like-minded parties have enforced countrywide blockades for 22 days in 11 phases and hartals for five days in four spells since October 29.
Finally, the opposition party made the call for a non-cooperation movement on December 20.
