By obstructing the public gathering, BNP is being told that the Awami League can stop the gathering if it wants.

Until next December, Awami League is preparing for a big rally around the conference and central program of the party's district and affiliated organizations in and around Dhaka. The policy makers of the party say that the pressure on the party has increased in the big gatherings of BNP. Awami League also wants to respond to BNP's rally with a big rally.

Official sources of Awami League said that BNP will hold a big gathering before and after the grand gathering announced by BNP in Dhaka on December 10.

Among them, a big rally was held yesterday in Narayanganj on the occasion of the party's district conference. For the party's Dhaka district conference on October 29, the venue for the international trade fair at Agargaon has been decided.

Party sources of Awami League said that in the recent past, the conference of Dhaka district was not held in the capital. The last conference of 2017 was held in Savar. Usually party chief Sheikh Hasina does not attend the district conference. This time, it has been decided to hold the Dhaka District Conference in the capital to respond to the BNP's big gathering. Party chief Sheikh Hasina has been requested to attend. All upazila leaders and party members of parliament and public representatives have been instructed to ensure the presence of a large number of people on that day. Several extended meetings have already taken place.

Yesterday morning at the Bangabandhu International Conference Center after the signing ceremony of a Metrorail agreement, General Secretary of Awami League and Minister of Road Transport and Bridges Obaidul Quader said in response to a question from reporters, 'What is the counter-balancing with BNP. Every day we have programs. Millions of people will see? come Dhaka district conference will be held on 29th, come there. I have invited Fakhrul Sahib (BNP General Secretary) in the afternoon to see how many people attend a district conference.'

On the occasion of Jubo League's 50th anniversary, the organization will hold a rally at Suhrawardy Udyan on November 11. In order to hold a big gathering there, Jubo League held an extended meeting in Dhaka last Saturday with district and upazila level leaders from all over the country.

BNP has put pressure

Party sources of Awami League said that Awami League does not want BNP to boycott the upcoming parliamentary elections. However, BNP's program has been attacked by Awami League and police. Still, BNP showed huge presence of people all over the country including Dhaka. The opposition has taken over a large part of the media for months; Which has not happened in the last seven-eight years.

As a result, they have made common people all over the country and even foreign diplomats curious. Awami League workers have also developed some anxiety. There is also the apprehension whether the people who are suffering due to the increase in the price of goods will come down on the streets at the call of BNP. In this situation, the ruling party Awami League will allow BNP to carry out its program without leaving the field completely. Besides, the party has decided to show its strength by organizing large gatherings.

A central leader of the Awami League told that on the condition of anonymity that the BNP is being given the impression that the Awami League can stop the rally if it wants to.

Abdur Razzak, a member of the presidium of Awami League , told that the work of organizing the election and organization will continue together. Awami League is the power of the streets. Leaders and workers also want to see themselves in the field. The upcoming conferences and programs will have huge attendance.

Many programs in November-December

Although the date is not fixed, the central conference of Awami League is going to be held in December. The date of the convention is likely to be finalized at the meeting of the party's highest policy-making forum, the Executive Parliament, on October 28. Party sources say that in addition to councilors and representatives from all over the country, a large number of workers-supporters will be brought to Suhrawardy Udyan in this two-day conference.

Before this, there may be conference of Dhaka Metropolitan North and South and allied and fraternal organizations. This process will begin in late November; Which will continue until the central conference of the party. Apart from this, there will be a program for the month of victory.

Affiliated and fraternal organizations of Awami League are Chhatra League, Jubo League, Jubo Mahila League, Mahila Awami League, Tanti League, Volunteer League, Krishak League, Sramik League and Fishermen League. All these three-year committees will expire in November.
