BNP-led four-party alliance's leaders yesterday urged its activists and leaders to make the alliance's pre-announced programme of August 27 human chain a success.

The alliance made this call at a meeting at the city office of Jamaat-e Islami at noon with party city Ameer Rafiqul Islam Khan in the chair.

The human chain will be formed demanding the release of BNP chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia and overseas medical treatment for her eldest son Tarique Rahman.

The alliance leaders also demanded of the Caretaker Government to withdraw the state of emergency immediately, hold the general election first and keep the prices of essentials within the reach of the common people.

The meeting was participated by BNP leaders Habib-un-Nabi Sohel and Kazi Asad, BJP city unit president Tayebur Rahman, Islami Okyajote city unit president Moulana Abul Kasem, Khelafat Majlish city unit president Moulana Noman Mazhari, Jamaat city unit assistant secretaries Nurul Islam Bulbul and Moulana Abdul Halim, among others.

They discussed on the plan to make the human chain programme a grand success, said a press release signed by Nurul Islam Bulbul.
