The Awami League has deferred its token hunger strike programme to May 5.
The hunger strike was earlier scheduled for Tuesday.
The party presidium at a meeting Sunday night also decided to keep the hunger strike programme confined to the capital city instead of observing it across the country.
‘We have decided to shift our Tuesday’s hunger strike programme to May 5 following a request from the leaders of Supreme Court Bar Association as the elections of the association will be held on Monday and Tuesday’, the acting general secretary of AL, Syed Ashraful Islam told reporters after the meeting held at the Gulshan residence of acting party president Zillur Rahman.
He said that the meeting decided to observe the programme in the capital city only as activists living outside Dhaka did not get permission from the administration for the programme because of the ban on indoor politics there.
He, however, denied that the programme was deferred under pressure from the government.
