As part of its efforts to forge greater anti-government unity, the BNP will hold parley with Bikalpadhara Bangladesh on Monday.
The BNP acting secretary general, Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, will sit with his BDB counterpart at the Bikalpadhara office, a party source told the news agency.
Since last July the BNP had started establishing contacts with different political parties to forge broad-based unity to intensify the current movement particularly to restore the provision of the caretaker government in the constitution.
Already Liberal Democratic Party president Oli Ahmed and Bangladesh Krishak Sramik Janata League president Kader Siddiqui met separately with the BNP chairperson, Khaleda Zia, responding to her invitation.
The BNP acting secretary general has held initial meeting with Bangladesh Kalyan Party chairman Syed M Ibrahim.
According to party insiders, the BNP is attaching comparatively more priority to win active support of Bikalpadhara, led by professor AQM Badruddoza Chowdhury, and Gana Forum, led by Dr Kamal Hossain.
The party also is trying to woo active support of JSD (Rab).
Apparently the BNP has succeeded in its efforts, which was reflected through recent iftar parties hosted separately by the BNP, its allies and other like-minded political parties.
Khaleda and leaders of other political parties have attended those iftar parties, considered as step to establish rapport.
The modalities of unity with different political parties would be determined after Eid-ul-Fitr.
