BNP Vice Chairman Shamsuzzaman Dudu announced the programme at a press briefing at the party’s Nayapaltan central office.
Dudu said their party’s all units of metropolitan cities and district towns will observe the programme tomorrow.
“The warrant was issued for the arrest of Tarique Rahman in the case filed against him out of jealousy for his popularity,” he said.
He also alleged that the government is continuously carrying out a false campaign against their senior vice chairman to malign his political image.
The BNP leader urged the government to revoke the arrest warrant and withdraw the case filed against Tarique.
On Thursday, a Dhaka court issued warrants for the arrest of two people, including Tarique Rahman, in a sedition case filed in 2015.
On January 8, 2015, the sedition case was filed with Tejgaon police station over the live telecast of a provocative speech of Tarique Rahman at a programme in London on January 5 of the year.
Besides, Dhaka City unit BNP also announced a two-day protest programme in the city to protest the arrest warrant.
As part of the programme, city BNP’s all thana units will stage demonstrations at their respective thanas today while the central unit will hold a rally tomorrow.
