The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has announced nationwide black flag processions on January 26 and 27 to press home its demands.

BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi made the announcement today (January 21) at a press conference held at the party's Nayapaltan office in the capital.

The party will organise the black flag processions in all district towns on January 26 and in metropolitan cities on January 27, he added. 

Rizvi also said that the black flag procession will be held to demand release of all leaders including party Chairperson Khaleda Zia, withdrawal of all fabricated cases, dissolution of parliament, and to protest higher commodity prices.

Recently, BNP and like-minded parties boycotted the 12th parliamentary election after they failed to realise their demand of holding polls under a non-party, neutral government.
