associate organisations have taken elaborate programmes this time under a changed political scenario.
BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia will formally inaugurate the day's programme on behalf of her party by placing wreaths at the grave of late president and founder of BNP Ziaur Rahman at 6:30am.
The BNP chief will also address a rally in the port city of Chittagong in the afternoon to mark the day, her first address to any public rally since 1/11.
Party sources said decision regarding participation of BNP-led four-party alliance in the December 18 election and the party's policy and strategy relating to the polls may come from the rally to be held at I >aldighi Maidan.
Khaleda Zia will address several street rallies at different places, including in Feni and Chandina, on her way to Chittagong by road, party sources said.
The other BNP programmes include hoisting of party flag atop party head office and a discussion in the afternoon at city's Engineers Institute.
The BNP chairperson and party secretary general also delivered separate messages on the occasion.
On November 28, 2007, the present caretaker government scrapped November 7 as public holiday that comes into effect from this year.
November 7 had been observed as public holiday since 1976 but tlie Awami League government in 1996 halted the practice.
In 2001, the BNP-led four-party government re-introduced November 7 as public holiday.
The rally to be held in the afternoon also has a great significance for many reasons, said the party sources.
JSD will organise a discussion meeting at city's Col Taher Auditorium at 4:00prn to mark the 'Civil Military Uprising Day'.
