Awami League (AL) will hold rallies in 19 major districts this month to drum up public support in favour of the 15th amendment to the constitution which scrapped the caretaker government system.
AL will also start holding councils beginning with those long due at 11 districts. It will then move to its grassroots units starting from ward to union, thana, upazila and metropolitan units and simultaneously restart membership collection drive to fully strengthen and prepare for the next parliamentary elections.
AL General Secretary Syed Ashraful Islam unveiled the plans while briefing newsmen at the party chief's political office in Dhanmondi after a meeting with AL central departmental secretaries yesterday.
He said the government's success over the past two and a half years, opposition's anti-government propaganda and organisational directives, among others, will be delivered prominently at the district rallies.
The meeting, chaired by Ashraf, discussed organisational matters and chalked out draft programmes for the national mourning day on August 15 and grenade attack day on August 21. Ashraf said a meeting of the AL Central Working Committee will be held soon to finalise the programmes.
"We want to complete all necessary preparations for the next national election through strengthening the party by holding councils of all units. We want to take part in the next election with the party's full strength," he said.
He said AL already registered 1.5 crore primary memberships and continued to collect more across the country.
The meeting expressed deep condolence over the tragic death of schoolboys in Chittagong and sympathy to their bereaved families.
AL leaders Mahbubul Alam Hanif, AFM Bahauddin Nasim, Abul Hossain, Abdur Razzaque, Nuh-ul-Alam Lenin, Abdul Matin Khasru, AB Tajul Islam, Hasan Mahmud and Mrinal Kanti Das were also present at the meeting.
