As part of its ongoing oust-government agitation, the AL will announce an array of programmes after its two-day hartal from tomorrow, party insiders said.

On the other hand, the BNP has decided to continue its street programmes throughout this month to face the opposition.

The alternative political stream led by former president AQM Badruddoza Chowdhury will observe "Hatred Day" against corrupt people through a programme at Muktangon in the capital this afternoon.

Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (JSD) led by Hasanul Haq Inu also called a two-day hartal coinciding with the AL's in demand for immediate resignation of the government and snap polls.

AL sources said after the hartal, the party will go for wildcat programmes that may include more hartals, road march, siege and some other alternative ways of protest.

The human shield across the city the AL organised on March 30 to express no-confidence in the government proved a success, the party leadership thinks and it plans to continue similar programmes to expedite the fall of the government. The party might hold a rally of general people, including women and children, severely affected by the price spiral of essentials. The rally is likely take place on the Central Shaheed Minar premises on April 10.

Leader of the Opposition and AL President Sheikh Hasina is scheduled to address a public meeting at Mirpur on April 9. She may announce some future programmes there.

Some AL stalwarts said the ruling alliance has become isolated from people only in two and a half years of its rule due to the law and order slide and price spiral of essentials.

AL General Secretary Abdul Jalil told newsmen on Sunday, "We are going ahead with an anti-government movement in a democratic way. Our main demand -- snap polls -- is not unusual in parliamentary democracy," Jalil said.

But the BNP leaders have dismissed the opposition demand for early elections, saying the government will not step down even a day before the expiry of its term since the people have given it the mandate to run the country for five years.

The BNP and its front organisations will move firmly to face the AL programmes aimed at bringing down the government by the month-end, party sources said.

City BNP and its front units held rallies yesterday and on Sunday and are scheduled to hold a joint meeting today to chart out future programmes.

Prime Minister and BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia is also scheduled to address some rallies in the capital this month.

Meanwhile, alternative political stream leader major (Retd) Abdul Mannan in a statement yesterday urged the people to join its Muktangon programme at 2:00pm today.
