Opposition's road march begins in Bogra today

The opposition combine will organise road marches in Kustia on August 12, Barisal on August 19, Jessore on August 20, Rajbari on August 24, Rangpur on August 26, Chittagong on August 28 and Sylhet on August 30.

Senior leaders of the opposition combine will lead the road march programmes.

Seeing spontaneous participation in the six-day -- four in Dhaka and two in upazila and district headquarter levels --road march programmes, the opposition combine at a meeting decided to organise more road march programmes at the districts where the ruling BNP has prominence.

The opposition alliance has announced road march programmes aiming to involve thousands of people in the street agitation to force BNP-Jamaat alliance government to accept reforms in the caretaker government and in the Election Commission (EC).

AL General Secretary and 14-party Coordinator Abdul Jalil called upon people of all walks of life to join the road march programmes to show no confidence to the BNP-Jamaat alliance government.
