BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia will try to start the march towards Nayapaltan office in afternoon, Khaleda's Press Secretary Maruf Kamal Khan Sohel has said.
He briefed reporters in front of Khaleda Zia's Gulshan office on Monday morning.
Maruf Kamal said: "If police bar the BNP chief on her way, she will hold the rally at that place."
"The government claimed that Khaleda Zia is not confined. People will see the fact when Khaleda Zia will try to come out of her office," he added.
BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia is being confined inside her Gulshan party office since Saturday night. Four sand-laden trucks have been positioned on either side of Khaleda's office on Sunday night.
However, Monirul Islam, joint commissioner at the DMP and also its spokesperson, told journalists that Khaleda is not confined.
The Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has imposed a ban on holding any kind of meeting, procession and rally in the capital from Sunday afternoon to avert any untoward situation over the political battle.
The ruling Awami League and BNP were scheduled to hold rallies in the capital marking January 5.
The BNP is looking to observe January 5 as the “democracy killing day” while the Awami League is set to celebrate “victory day of democracy.”
