BNP’s long awaited 6th National Council, has already created a countrywide buzz among the politically interested people, raising hopes of a vibrant comeback of long-suspended democracy in the land. 

The party has been considering to hold its National Council since 2012, as a must-do requirement set by its organogram as well as the Election Commission. But the current regime blocked the party’s several attempts to organize its most important event.

At last, now the party leadership is on the threshold of making it happen despite numerous odds. 

Here are five important facts about the council.

5. The Logo

The council logo integrates three symbols - the National Mausoleum, the symbol of the Liberation War; the national flag, and the sheaf of paddy - BNP’s electoral symbol. A defiant youth waving the national flag is also seen in the logo on the gold colored background.
