Jatiyatabadi Sramik Dal, the labour wing of BNP, will hold a rally in the capital marking the historic May Day.
In a briefing after a joint meeting with associate bodies of BNP at BNP Chairperson Gulshan Office in the capital, BNP Standing Committee Member Nazrul Islam Khan said, "The rally is scheduled to begin at 2pm in front of BNP's Naya Paltan central office."
Party's Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir chaired the meeting.
Nazrul Islam said, "Sramik Dal has decided to hold a rally in front of BNP's Nayapaltan central office on 1 May in observance of the great May Day."
He said Sramik Dal has already formed a May Day celebration committee and held various meetings to make the rally a success.
Nazrul, also a renowned Labour leader, said leaders of Sramik Dal, BNP, and its different units participated in the meeting today at the invitation of Mirza Fakhrul to make preparations for arranging the rally in a peaceful manner.
He said leaders and activists from Sramik Dal's Dhaka South and North city units, as well as those from districts adjoining Dhaka, will join the rally, where BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman is expected to address as the chief guest virtually.
Nazrul said they are planning for a massive turnout at the rally, where Sramik Dal will place a set of basic demands on behalf of the country's working class.
As it is a public holiday, he expressed the hope that there will be less suffering for commuters due to the large rally.
