Dhaka, Apr 30 opposition BNP has announced countrywide protest programme on Wednesday as it completed its two consecutive days of nationwide general strike demanding 'release' of the missing leader M Ilias Ali on Monday.
BNP's joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi at a press conference at the party's Naya Paltan headquarters said the next course of agitation would be announced from Wednesday's demonstration.
Last week, the main opposition had observed general strike for three consecutive days over the same demand.
Rizvi also condemned filing of cases against the opposition leaders allegedly over hurling of homemade bombs at the Secretariat and setting a vehicle ablaze in front of the prime minister's office during the Sunday's general strike.
He urged the government to withdraw the cases, which he termed 'baseless.'
The cases filed were filed with Shahbagh and Tejgaon police stations accusing 18-party coalition leaders including BNP's acting secretary general Mirza Fkhrul Islam Alamgir, BNP leaders Khandkaer Mosharraf Hossain, Sadeq Hossain Khoka, ASM Hannan Shah, Goyeshwar Chandra Roy, Aman Ullah Aman, Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, Mahbub Uddin Khokon, LDP president Oli Ahmad, BJP chairman Andalib Rahman Partha, NPP chairman Sheikh Shawkat Hossain Nilu and Jagpa president Shafiul Alam Prodhan.
Ilias Ali and his driver Ansar Ali have been missing since Apr 18. The government has been denying the main opposition's claim that the government kidnapped the leader.
The first phase of agitation in protest against the leader going missing was observed by the BNP alone. The 18-party coalition jointly enforced the second phase of agitation which ended on Monday.
