DHAKA, April 22, 2025 (BSS) - BNP will hold a 'huge public meeting' in the capital on May 1 in front of the party’s Nayapaltan central office marking the May Day.

“The party's preparations have already started for holding a massive public rally on May Day,” party standing committee member Nazrul Islam Khan told a press conference following a joint meeting on the rally at the Gulshan BNP Chairperson's political office on Tuesday.

BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi Ahmed, Joint Secretaries General Khairul Kabir Khokon and Syed Emran Saleh Prince were present, among others.

Earlier, a joint meeting of Dhaka City BNP and associated bodies was held with BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir in the chair.

Nazrul Islam said they requested party chief Begum Khaleda Zia to be the chief guest at the rally. But her physical condition is not very good, so acting chairman Tarique Rahman will address the public meeting virtually, he said.
