Police set up a check post outside BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia’s home at Gulshan in the capital ahead of much-talked rally on December 10 in Dhaka. 

Shairul Kabir Khan, a staff of the chairperson's media wing, confirmed the matter. 

Police set up the checkpoint around 09:30pm on Saturday night in front of BNP Chairperson’s home Firoza on road No. 79. 

Khaleda Zia released from jail on March 25, 2020, following an executive order from the government suspending her jail sentence.

Currently, BNP is holding rallies in divisional cities one after another protesting the price hike of daily essentials and fuels, the death of five party men in previous police action and ensuring the freedom of Khaleda Zia.

BNP will complete the divisional programmes by holding its last rally in Dhaka on December 10.

Earlier on November 30, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan said if BNP Chairperson attends the party’s December 10 rally in Dhaka, court will take necessary steps.

BNP received permission to hold their rally at Dhaka's Suhrawardy Udyan on December 10. 

Earlier on November 15, a BNP delegation met Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Khandker Golam Faruq and sought permission to hold their rally in front of the party's Nayapaltan central office in the capital.
