Online Desk: The leaders and activists of Dhaka South City BNP started marching towards the capital’s Shyampur area from Jatrabari, as part of its four-day programme. BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir formally inaugurated the programme in front of Jatrabari Ideal School around 2:50 pm on Monday. It is the second march programme of BNP in Dhaka to press home their 10-point demand including to oust the present government from power and to restore democracy in the country.

In a brief address prior to launching the march, Fakhrul asked the party men to hold the programme peacefully as they did all other previous programmes. He, however, warned the ruling party not to consider BNP’s peaceful programmes as its weakness. “A strong resistance will be put up if our programme is obstructed.”

Fakhrul said they have begun a new chapter of the movement through the march programme for the restoration of democracy and people’s voting and other rights. “This march is a triumph of democracy and civilization.” A huge number of law enforcers have been deployed to maintain law and order and fend off any untoward incidents. Earlier on Saturday (January 28), Dhaka North City BNP marched from Badda to Malibagh.
