BNP to hold youth rallies from June 17

Three associate and front organisations of the BNP -- Chhatra Dal, Jubo Dal, and Swechchasebak Dal -- will conduct a "Youth Rally" in six districts to promote their "Youth Rally to Save the Country" slogan.

Sultan Salahuddin Tuku, president of Jubo Dal, made the announcement at a press conference at party's Nayapaltan headquarters yesterday.

The first rally will be held on either June 10 or 11 in Chattogram, Bogura on June 17, Khulna on July 7, Barishal on July 15, and Sylhet on July 22 and the last one will be held in Dhaka on July 29.

"We will conduct youth rallies in six locations across the country. In the preceding fifteen years, over four billion young people were unable to vote. Today, those who do not participate in Awami League politics are unable to obtain employment. In such a circumstance, we will urge the youth to come forward to save the nation," he said.

Tuku said the youth will be encouraged to establish the rule of law in the country as there is no rule of law in the country.

"The main goal of the youth rally is to make the young generation aware of the injustice and corruption of the current Awami League government."
