Tensions are high in the political arena surrounding the divisional mass rallies. After Chittagong and Mymensingh, BNP is going to hold a mass rally in Khulna this Saturday.
The rally will be held at the Sonali Bank premises in the city at 2 pm. BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir will be the chief guest.
A pre-announced transport strike has begun in Khulna since Friday morning ahead of the rally. However, the party's supporters have ignored the announcement and started gathering at the rally site.
Most of the leaders and activists arrived at the rally site the night before by train and trawler. The leaders and activists present at the rally site slept on plastic bags and mats on the road and sidewalks at the night.
Many people were seen sleeping there in the morning as well. Breakfast was being served by various party leaders.
Details coming soon…
