Online Desk: The pre-announced youth rally of Awami League’s associate organizations Chhatra League, Jubo League and Swechchhasebak League will now take place on Friday, instead of Thursday, reports UNB.

The rally was postponed by a day to Friday as the old trade fair ground in Agargaon is not suitable for the rally, said AL Office Secretary Barrister Biplob Barua on Wednesday evening after a delegation of Awami League’s three associate organizations visited the fair ground.

The decision came after BNP decided to hold its rally on Friday, instead of Thursday. Jubo League General Secretary Mainul Hossain Khan Nikhil said at a press conference at Bangabandhu Avenue on Wednesday evening that the construction of the stage of the south gate of Baitul Mukarram has been suspended.

The rally will be held in the open as permission is not granted. Several places are being visited for this. The rally will be held wherever it likes. AL associate organizations called for the peace rally in the capital to protest the attacks on its leaders and activists in different parts of the country.

Earlier in the day, Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Khandaker Golam Faruk said police did not allow the BNP to hold the rally at Nayapaltan or at Suhrawardy Udyan. “We have suggested they go to Golapbagh Ground or any other field as Thursday is a working day.”

The DMP also suggested three wings of the ruling Awami League—the Jubo League, Swechchhasebak League, and Chhatra League—to hold their scheduled rally, at Dhaka University or Mohanagar Natya Mancha, instead of at the south gate of the Baitul Mukarram national mosque.
