Source: New Age (Dhaka) - Summary: The BNP-led alliance has informed the interim government and the Election Commission that it was dropping three out of its seven-point demands as pre-requisites to its participation in the upcoming elections. One of the dropped points was the insistence that the May 30 and November 7 public holidays be restored.
The November 7 public holiday was cancelled last year (our November 29, 2007, news update) and the upcoming elections are set for December 18, 2008, a date that we expect to be declared a public holiday in Bangladesh (our October 2, 2008, news update).
