Addressing a press conference at its central office on Bangabandhu Avenue, Jubo League leaders said they have taken up massive preparations to bring in around five lakh people to make the grand rally a success, just one day before the 14-party opposition combine's sit-in programme in front of the Prime Minister Office (PMO).

Leader of the Opposition and Awami League (AL) President Sheikh Hasina will address the rally, Jubo League General Secretary Mirza Azam MP told newsmen at the press conference.

Azam alleged that their workers and leaders were facing obstacles from the government and its cadres during the publicity for the rally and organisational activities.

He also accused the BNP cadres of snatching and vandalising loud speakers from their party workers in different parts of the city when they had been mobilising people to participate the rally.

Azam warned the government that the country would witness a Kansat like situation if it creates any obstacle centring the grand rally or repress the leaders and workers.

Jubo League Chairman Jahangir Kabir Nanak expressed fear that that the government might create obstacle on the day of the grand rally due to the 14-party's sit-in programme on April 19.

Jubo League leaders including Dr Mizanur Rahman, Omar Faruk Chowdhury, Mujibor Rahman Chowdhury, Mahbubur Rahman Hiron, Fazlul Haque Atiq and Ataur Rahman were present at the press conference.
