The action plan made at a meeting at opposition combine's coordinator Abdul Jalil's residence in the capital yesterday will be finalised after getting approval of the AL President Sheikh Hasina within a couple of days.

The opposition combine's grand rally in the capital will be held in the last week of this month or early next month, meeting sources said.

The opposition has no plan of declaring tough agitation programmes like hartal, laying siege to Election Commission (EC) secretariat or Prime Minister's Office or blockade of road, rail and river ways until mid August, meeting sources said.

The meeting, however, expressed deep concern over the alliance government's move to amend the constitution and said if the government does amend the constitution, they will rethink their agitation programmes.

Besides the grand rally and the marches, the opposition will conduct mass contact in upazilas, thanas and districts across the country to mobilise a large number of people in favour of the electoral reforms. It will also exchange views with the international community to get their support for the electoral reforms.

Abdul Jalil, also general secretary of the AL, told newsmen that they would not allow any election in the country before implementation of the reform proposals.

Urging the Chief Election Commissioner and two 'politically appointed' commissioners to quit the EC right now, Jalil said otherwise the anti-government movements will turn into a mass movement. He said the revised voter listing would have to be done after reformation of the EC.

Chaired by the AL Presidium Member Abdur Razzak, the meeting was attended, among others, by Motia Chowdhury, Obaidul Quader, Hasanul Haque Inu, Bimal Biswas, Dilip Barua, Syed Zafor Sazzad, Moinuddin Khan Badal, Nurul Islam, Abdus Samad, Pankaj Bhattacharya and Zakir Hossain.
