Three BNP associate bodies -- Jatiyatabadi Jubo Dal, Swechchasebak Dal, and Chhatra Dal -- will begin a long march towards Agartala from Dhaka on Wednesday (11 December) morning to protest against Indian aggression and the spread of false information terrorism against Bangladesh.
The peaceful long march is set to start from Nayapaltan at 8am on Wednesday.
The leaders and activists of the three organisations said that the long march will rally at Bhairab Bazar via Motijheel Shapla Chattar, Kanchpur Bridge, Bhulata Gauchia, Panchdona. From there, it is scheduled to reach the Akhaura border, the land port of Brahmanbaria.
The organisations have made extensive preparations for the long march programme. Leaders, activists and supporters of BNP-affiliated organisations in Dhaka city will participate in the programme with cars, open trucks and motorcycles.
