Yesterday, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir expressed hope that this meeting could be a turning point in resolving the country's ongoing political crisis.
"The chief adviser has invited our acting chairperson to a meeting. The meeting will be held at the hotel where he [CA Yunus] is staying," he said.
The meeting is set to take place between 9am and 11am London time on Friday, he added.
Yunus has announced that the 13th parliamentary elections will be held on any day in the first half of April 2026. However, the BNP is against the plan and has been demanding for long that the election be held by December this year.
