DHAKA, Bangladesh 20 July (V7N): Prime Minister and BNP Chairman Tarique Rahman has extended an official invitation to the top leadership of the political parties that spearheaded the simultaneous anti-fascist mass movement for a high-profile dinner at the State Guest House Jamuna.
The significant political gathering is scheduled to take place at 7:30 pm on Monday evening, according to Prime Minister's Additional Press Secretary Atikur Rahman Ruman.
The event marks a highly symbolic milestone in the country's post-uprising political landscape. It represents the very first formal assembly between Prime Minister Tarique Rahman and the leaders of the allied coalition since the BNP successfully formed the central government following a decisive majority in the 13th parliamentary elections held on February 12.
Massive Turnout Expected: Over 150 top-tier leaders from various allied political organizations have been formally invited to the event, with official invitation protocols already completed across the capital.
Strategic Greetings: Press Secretary Ruman confirmed that the Prime Minister will utilize the event to exchange formal greetings and express institutional gratitude to the political partners who stood firm during the long, anti-government street agitations.
BNP High Command Presence: The entire core leadership of the BNP Standing Committee will be in attendance to coordinate discussions alongside their political allies.
Structuring the New Coalition Future
Political analysts view the Jamuna dinner as a crucial platform to transition the alliance from a street-level protest movement into a sustainable governance framework.
