Hartal from Sunday.

DHAKA: BNP led 18-party alliance will call countrywide dawn-to-dusk hartal for Sunday and Monday.

Shairul Kabir Khan, media wing official of the BNP chairperson, confirmed the matter to banglanews.

BNP acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir will announce the fresh hartal programmes at a press conference of the alliance to be held on Saturday afternoon in the city, he added.

Moreover, main opposition BNP‘s four-day ultimatum to the government to find its missing leader Elias Ali ends on Saturday evening.

On Tuesday last, BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia gave the ultimatum to the government saying they would stage tougher and nonstop movement programmes if Elias Ali and his driver are not found by April 28.

BNP leaders are likely to call hartal for Sunday and Monday according to their 18-party meeting held on Wednesday.

Earlier on April 17, BNP Organizing Secretary of Sylhet Division and former MP M Elias Ali went missing along with his driver.

Later, police recovered Elias’s abandoned private car and the mobile phone of his driver in front of Mohakhali South Point School and College.

BNP led 18-party alliance then observed countrywide dawn-to-dusk hartal for three consecutive days.
