‘Oikya Front to release manifesto 17 Dec’

Jatiya Oikya Front, led by Kamal Hossain, will formally unveil its election manifesto on 17 December, according to UNB.

Bangladesh Nationalist Party secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir came up with the announcement while talking to newsmen after a meeting of the alliance steering committee at Kamal Hossain’s Motijheel chamber on Thursday evening.

Besides, he said, they postponed their rally scheduled for 10 December at the capital’s Suhrawardy Udyan.

The BNP leader, however, said they will hold the rally in the capital at the fag-end of the election campaign in favour of their alliance candidates.

Earlier, BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi announced that Jatiya Oikya Front wants to hold a rally at Suhrawardy Udyan in the city on 10 December ahead of the 11th parliamentary elections.
