BNP today called a countrywide hartal from Saturday morning to Monday morning as part of their movement to boycott the January 7 elections.
The party's Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Katie Rizvi made the announcement at a virtual press briefing this afternoon.
"The 48-hour hartal will be held in favour of the polls boycott [programme] and the non-cooperation movement for the resignation of Awami League government, the reinstatement of a neutral polls-time caretaker government system, and release of BNP leaders from prison," said Rizvi.
