The BNP has asked the party leaders and activists to avoid bringing out any procession riding motorcycles or organising a motorcade including different types of vehicles while travelling for organisational work in any unit in respective areas.

A letter, signed by BNP Senior Joint General Secretary Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, in this regard was sent to the party's national executive committee, chairperson's advisory council, and grassroots units across the country on Sunday.

“All these processions cause terrible inconvenience to pedestrians or disruption to plying other vehicles on roads. The arrival of senior leaders in areas where organisational meetings or public rallies are held causes heavy traffic jams due to processions with a motorcade. It also suffers people immensely – which cannot be desirable at all,” read the letter.

The party also noticed that leaders and activists of its affiliated organisations across the country, including Dhaka, are displaying colourful posters, banners, and festoons. “It is highly undesirable and against the party discipline.”

The letter added, “Some of the party's extra enthusiastic leaders are publishing posters with their pictures as well as hanging festoons and banners. Leaders and activists are being instructed to refrain from displaying such posters, banners, and festoons.”
