Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) examinations will be out of the hartal purview.
On Sunday, a Dhaka court issued arrest warrant against BNP senior vice-chairman Tarique Rahman in a graft case.
The court also allowed the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) to take help from Interpol in this connection, reports banglanews.
In the latest development, the arrest warrant against Tarique Rahman has been sent to the foreign ministry.
