Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader has urged BNP not to hold any mass processions in Dhaka on 24 December.
He made the call as the ruling party is scheduled to hold its 22nd national council on the same day at the capital's Suhrawardy Udyan.
"I am requesting BNP not to hold its pre-announced protest rally in the capital on 24 December as the day coincides with Awami League's national council," Obaidul Quader told reporters on Tuesday (13 December) at the party president's Dhanmondi office.
It was on 28 October when Awami League announced its schedule for the party's 22nd national council.
Meanwhile, BNP, as a part of their efforts to oust the government and press home their 10-point demand, on 10 December, announced to bring out mass processions across all divisional and metropolitan cities the same day.
"BNP's 10 December programme in Dhaka failed as the party wanted to create chaos in the name of [divisional] rallies," Obaidul Quader added.
