Khaleda ZiaBNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia is scheduled to address a rally here today to elicit public opinion in favour of the caretaker government system.
Party sources said she will arrive in Dinajpur from Bogra at noon and address the rally at Gor-e-Shahid maidan at around 3:00pm.
All preparations have been completed to make the public meeting a success, the sources said, adding that senior party leaders, including Mizanur Rahman Minu and Asadul Habib Dulu, arrived here yesterday to oversee the arrangements made for the rally.
Besides, hundreds of arches have been erected on different roads to greet Khaleda Zia, also the leader of the opposition in parliament.
Local BNP leaders said around five lakh people, including leaders, activists and supporters from eight northern districts, are expected to join the rally.
They said though the chairperson is starting her month-long tour of districts from Dinajpur, the district has been facing leadership crisis since the death of her sister Khurshid Jahan Haque.
Senior leaders said her districts tour is aimed at intensifying the opposition's campaign for restoration of the provision of caretaker government in the constitution to hold the next general elections.
Dinajpur Police Superintendent Md Moinul Islam said security has been stepped up by deploying law enforcers at different points in the town.
Local BNP leaders said the party will win all parliamentary seats in the district if the national election is held under caretaker government system.
