The Awami League has rebuffed reports circulating on social media about a change of date for its upcoming rally at Dhaka's Baitul Mukarram National Mosque scheduled for Saturday. Sayem Khan, the ruling party's deputy office secretary, slammed the BNP for "spreading misinformation and rumours" by issuing a fake press release. "We have issued an official press release to the media about the peace rally planned by the Awami League for Saturday," he said. The ruling party's General Secretary Obaidul Quader will be the chief guest at the event. The Awami League announced the gathering in response to the BNP's 'grand rally' on the same day in Naya Paltan as part of the opposition group's movement against the government.
