The Dhaka Times Desk On December 29, 18 parties led by BNP have joined hands to make the 'March for Democracy' program a success. Extensive preparations are underway to make this program a success. Many leaders and workers have already started coming to Dhaka.
Retaining the strong position of Trinamool coming from the remote areas of the country, on the other hand, ensuring the participation of a large number of people irrespective of party affiliation in the march has now become a big challenge for the BNP and the 18-party alliance. It is now a big challenge to hold a rally in the capital after overcoming the government hurdles. However, the leadership of BNP is determined to make this 'March for Democracy' program a success at any cost. It is a big challenge for them in the current situation.
This change in the program of the BNP-led 18-party alliance was brought after knowing the attitude that the Awami League will win the election at any cost on January 5. Strikes and blockades have now become like 'muri-murki' to the people. People are now used to strikes and blockades. How to go to the office during strike-blockade, how to do urgent work is now on everyone's fingertips. While the strike-blockade has an impact in the city of Mufaswal, there is no impact in the capital. That's why the 18-party alliance brought this new thinking to mind. Moreover, the election is very close. In such a situation, continuous program was thought of but later this 'March for Democracy' program was taken up in the meeting of Dalio and the alliance.
It is being said from the opposition party that emphasis is being placed on increasing the participation of ordinary people of various classes and occupations with political workers-supporters. The opposition leaders are also making last minute preparations to make this program successful.
According to a source, the divisional and district leaders had prepared in advance as per the instructions of opposition leader Khaleda Zia during the continuous blockade program. The source also said that the announcement of the 'March for Democracy' movement program has come to achieve the goal of breaking the confidence of the government by creating pressure and energizing the opposition leaders and activists for the final movement, not a long stay in the capital.
Meanwhile, there is widespread anxiety among the public about what will happen on December 29. What if the government allows the program to succeed naturally? And if the permission sought for the program especially for the assembly is not given, then there are doubts about what the situation will be. Now we have to wait till December 29 to see everything clearly.
