BNP Chairperson and former prime minister Begum Khaleda Zia yesterday said she would begin campaign for the December 29 parliamentary elections from Sylhet after offering ziarat at the mazar of Hazrat Shahjalal (R) soon after the holy Eid-ul Azha on December 9.

Talking to reporters at her Gulshan office in the city, the BNP Chairperson expressed the hope that the caretaker government would lift the state of emergency by this time.

She said the preparation of BNP's election manifesto is at the final stage. It would be published soon, she added.

Replying to a question, Khaleda Zia said there is no problem in the BNP-led four-party alliance on the issue of seat sharing for the forthcoming parliamentary polls.
