A huge number of BNP leaders and activists gathered at the party's Naya Paltan central office in Dhaka on Friday afternoon to bring out a grand procession in the capital, marking the historical National Revolution and Solidarity Day.

They will start marching from the venue at 2:30pm.

The procession will parade at Kakrail Mosque, Matsya Bhaban, Engineering Institute, Shahbagh intersection, Hotel InterContinental, Banglamotor crossing, Karwan Bazar, Farmgate, and will end at the Manik Mia Avenue.

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir will inaugurate the programme, while the party senior leaders will join the event, among others.

At the concluding session, BNP acting chairman Tarique Rahman will deliver his speech.

The BNP observed 7 November as National Revolution and Solidarity Day with the party leaders and activists, led by Mirza Fakhrul, placing wreaths and offering fateha at the grave of their party founder and former president Ziaur Rahman in the city.

On 7 November 1975, amid the political turmoil, soldiers and civilians jointly freed the then Chief of Army Staff Ziaur Rahman from captivity in Dhaka Cantonment, paving the way for him to come to power.
