Prime Minister Tarique Rahman will inaugurate the BNP's central rally in the capital on Saturday, marking the National Revolution and Solidarity Day.
BNP Acting Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi disclosed the programme while talking to reporters at the party's Nayapaltan central office on Friday.
He said rallies would be held in most districts and metropolitan cities across the country on the occasion.
“In Dhaka, the rally will be inaugurated by Prime Minister Tarique Rahman in front of the party's central office in Nayapaltan,” Rizvi said.
The rally will begin after the Prime Minister delivers his inaugural speech, he said.
It will start from Nayapaltan and proceed through Kakrail, the Chief Justice's residence, Hotel InterContinental intersection, Bangla Motor and Farmgate before ending at Manik Mia Avenue, Rizvi added.
Before the rally, the Prime Minister and senior party leaders will pay tribute by placing wreaths at the graves of Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman and former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia in Sher-e-Bangla Nagar at 8:30am.
Rizvi said the party's different associate bodies would also organise programmes, including discussion meetings and photo exhibitions, alongside the central rally.
He said the BNP's Dhaka north and south units and its associate organisations were working to make the rally a success.
A stage is being built in front of the party's central office in Nayapaltan for the Prime Minister to inaugurate the rally.
The BNP has already announced a weeklong programme marking National Revolution and Solidarity Day.
