BNP seeks DMP's permission to hold rally in Dhaka on 12 July
The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has sent a letter to the Dhaka Metropolitan Police commissioner seeking permission to hold a rally in the capital on 12 July.
BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir will announce the party's one-point movement, demanding resignation of the government and an election to be held under a caretaker government, party insiders told The Business Standard.
The party's standing committee made the decision in a meeting at the party chairperson's Gulshan office earlier on Saturday.

In this regard, DMP Commissioner Khandaker Golam Faruq told TBS that they are analysing BNP's application as well as scrutinising the situation.
"A decision will be taken and informed later," the DMP commissioner added.
