BNP senior leaders yesterday again distributed leaflets across the country demanding its Chairperson Khaleda Zia's release from jail.

They also urged people to resist the government's efforts to “revive a one-party rule.”

In the capital, the party standing committee members and senior leaders distributed the leaflets among pedestrians.

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir inaugurated the programme through distributing leaflets near the party's Nayapaltan headquarters around 12:45pm.

Talking to reporters, he said they have taken a vow to free Khaleda through a peaceful movement.

He said through the leaflets, they call upon people to be vocal against the “unlawful and conspiratorial jailing of our chairperson”.

Meanwhile, BNP standing committee member Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain was obstructed by police when he was distributing the leaflets in Mohakhali Rail Gate Area. He alleged that police foiled their programme without any provocation.

BNP standing committee member Abdul Moyeen Khan distributed leaflets in Uttara.

On March 1, the party also distributed leaflets across the country seeking Khaleda's release from jail.

Khaleda Zia was sent to jail on February 8 following a special court verdict that sentenced her to five years' rigorous imprisonment in the Zia Orphanage Trust graft case.
