BNP announces fresh 3-day mass campaign from Tuesday

The party will be distributing leaflets across the country to garner support for the boycott of the upcoming election

The BNP has announced another three-day mass campaign starting on Tuesday to garner public support for the boycott of the Jan 7 election.

The party will distribute leaflets nationwide until Dec 28 as part of its ongoing 'non-cooperation movement' ahead of the polls, BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said at a virtual press briefing on Sunday.

The BNP, its allies and like-minded groups have been observing a dawn-to-dusk transport blockade programme on Sunday.

The country's largest opposition group has been staging a series of shutdowns and blockades to protest the 'one-sided' election schedule and a police crackdown on its rally in Dhaka on Oct 28.

The BNP had previously distributed leaflets between Dec 21-23 as part of its anti-government campaign.
