BNP lawmaker Selina Rahman said the people have turned around even after suffering torture to an extreme extent.
"No matter how hard they try to brush us off, we will join spontaneously in the movement that will be announced today," she said in her speech.
BNP Standing Committee Member Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury said the government has called a hartal to thwart the BNP rally.
"A hartal is being observed in Dhaka Saturday. The government has called it. Awami League goons are picketing at the entrances of Dhaka with weapons. They have created terror all over Bangladesh," he said.
He also questioned whether the government has any authority over the country at the moment.
"The government that has to call a hartal, carry out picketing, are they really in power? I don't think there is a government in Bangladesh," said the BNP leader.
