The BNP-led 20-party alliance will bring out protest processions across the country today.
The alliance made the announcement yesterday through a press statement signed by BNP Joint Secretary General Barkatullah Bulu, urging countrymen to observe the programme peacefully and successfully alongside the ongoing nationwide transport blockade.
The statement reads: “The alliance will bring out processions in every district, upazila, municipality and city corporations on Sunday [today] to protest the nationwide mass killing of party leaders and activists and demand the return of all missing leaders, including BNP’s Joint Secretary General Salahuddin Ahmed.”
However, the release did not mention any fresh hartal which the BNP-led alliance has been enforcing since February 1.
On March 24, the alliance apparently paused its nationwide hartal programme as the country geared up to celebrate the 45th Independence Day on March 26, breaking the pattern of hartals on weekdays (Sunday-Thursday).
