Says aide in reply to question from PTI bureau chief in DC
The BNP today declared a countrywide blockade on Wednesday, and a countrywide hartal on Thursday
Hartal and oborodh (blockade) have been part of the Bangladeshi political reality for decades. As the political situation has tensed up after BNP's October 28 rally ended in violence, around 80 percent of working days have seen the opposition parties calling for either a hartal or a blockade
The ruling Awami League and the opposition BNP remain at odds over the polls-time administration.
All this means that the people will not see an end to their financial woes anytime soon.
The Awami League will mobilise its activists across Dhaka city from early tomorrow in a bid to tighten its grip on the capital, fearing the BNP and its like-minded parties may bring the city to a standstill by sparking off untoward incidents.
While both the parties said they had never “complained” to the foreigners and blamed each other for tarnishing the image of the country, it was evident that the whole point of holding the rallies was to play to the proverbial gallery
US does not favour any particular political party, Ambassador Peter Haas said today (August 10, 2022).
Two high-profile delegations from the ruling Awami League and BNP are to attend a seminar organised by UK House of Lords over Bangladesh’s prevailing political and human rights situation on July 19.
