Earlier, on August 9, the biennial conference of Rajshahi Metropolitan BNP was held. BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman joined the conference virtually and delivered the speech as the chief guest.
BNP sources said that the last conference was held in 2009. Later, the committee was formed. Then, in 2017, the leaders of that committee were brought to various central positions and new ones were brought in. Later, in 2021, the committee was abolished and a convening committee was announced in December. Since then, the party conflict within the BNP has been increasing. Most recently, from May to July this year, a faction of the BNP had been protesting several times. They had been demanding the abolition of the convening committee, as well as the police station and ward committees.
