Opposition rallies in Sunamganj, Mongla today

Senior leaders of the Awami League, 11 Party, Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal and National Awami Party will address the rallies.

The Communist Party of Bangladesh (CPB), however, will not join the rallies although it took part in six combined rallies held this month. Instead, the party will stage demonstration in the capital today in support of the human wall.

The opposition parties are also taking preparations to make the second human wall programme a success. Earlier, they organised the first human wall from Teknaf to Tentulia on December 11 as part of their anti-government agitation.

Sources in the opposition parties hinted that the tempo of the agitation led by the main opposition Awami League is likely to slow in the next two months because of the Eid and Saarc summit.

Senior opposition leaders will sit in a couple of days to discuss the next course of their agitation, the sources added.
