Thirty-six political parties will soon announce a joint programme to topple the government, said BNP Vice Chairman Barkatullah Bulu on Saturday.
“To remove Sheikh Hasina, everyone has to be on the streets,” he said while addressing a preparatory meeting of Chattogram Divisional Sramik Dal on the occasion of the mega rally of Chittagong Divisional Sramik Dal on July 16 at the BNP office ground at Nasimon Bhaban in the city.

"Today, foreign democracies are saying that there is no democratic government in Bangladesh. The illegal government sitting in power by force should be removed. Through the ongoing democratic movement, the bell of Sheikh Hasina's departure should be ringed and a non-party neutral government should be established and the voting rights of all people should be ensured,” said Bulu.
“So after that announcement comes, we will all unite and say goodbye to Sheikh Hasina through peaceful movement and struggle. There is no other option,” he added.
