Three associate bodies of the BNP -- Jubo Dal, Swechhasebak Dal and Chhatra Dal -- will hold a youth rally at Naya Paltan in the capital on Wednesday.
Youths from Dhaka, Sylhet, Faridpur and Mymensingh will attend the rally to ensure its success, said Swechhasebak Dal President SM Jilani.
BNP acting chairman Tarique Rahman will virtually join the rally as the chief guest and present the party’s political outline and future strategy to the country’s young generation, he added.
Senior BNP leaders, including Standing Committee members Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain, Abdul Moyeen Khan, Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury and Salahuddin Ahmed, are also expected to address the rally.
“We witnessed a huge gathering of youths at our Chittagong rally. Our targets in Khulna and Bogra have been fully achieved, drawing the attention of youths from all walks of life. We expect that at least 1.5 million young people will join our Dhaka rally, breaking all previous records,” Jilani said at a press briefing on Monday.
“Youths are eagerly waiting to join the rally... By making the rally successful with their spontaneous support, youths, who have been deprived of their voting rights for 17 years, will highlight their prime demand for the restoration of democracy,” Jilani said.
He said that with this rally, they will take a step forward in the ongoing movement for restoring their voting rights under the leadership of Tarique Rahman.
Earlier, on 28 April, the three BNP bodies announced their plans to hold four seminars and four rallies involving youths from eight divisions, aiming to empower them to help build a just state structure.
Their program began on May 9 in Chittagong, will conclude in Dhaka on Wednesday.
They also held seminars and rallies in Khulna and Bogra before.
