Opposition black-flag procession tomorrow
2013-11-18
[Bangla Daily Star] The BNP-led 18-party opposition alliance will stage "black-flag" processions across the country tomorrow in protest against prime ministers' today's cabinet meeting of "ministers who have already resigned".

"Holding cabinet meeting with the ministers who have already resigned is nothing but violation of country's constitution," BNP Joint Secretary General Rizvi Ahmed said while announcing the programme at a press briefing at the party's Nayapaltan central office today.

Processions would be brought out at all divisional cities, all district towns and including the capital.

Rizvi, who has been staying at the Nayapaltan office for the last three weeks in fear of arrest, however did not elaborate the time and place from where the procession will start in the capital.

The nearly two-and-a half-hour cabinet meeting was held today at the Secretariat with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina
...Bangla dynastic politician and current Prime Minister of Bangladesh. She has been the President of the Bangla Awami League since the Lower Paleolithic. She is the eldest of five children of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangla. Her party defeated the BNP-led Four-Party Alliance in the 2008 parliamentary elections. She has once before held the office, from 1996 to 2001, when she was defeated in a landslide. She and the head of the BNP, Khaleda Zia show such blind animosity toward each other that they are known as the Battling Begums..
in the chair.

Briefing news hounds after the meeting, Cabinet Secretary M Musharraf Hossain Bhuiyan today said he was yet to receive any resignation letter of the ministers or state ministers who submitted their resignation to the premier at November 11 cabinet meeting .

Rizvi also criticised the government for what he said "law enforcers' besieging the BNP Nayapaltan office".

He said members of police and intelligence agencies confined him to the BNP office and no other opposition leader was allowed to enter the Nayapaltan office.
