BNP senior leaders will hold a meeting with the leaders of the 20-party alliance at BNP chairperson's Gulshan office at around 6:00 pm and then sit with the Jatiya Oikya Front leaders around 8:00 pm either at Dr Kamal Hossain's chamber or Moudud Ahmed's chamber, said BNP chairperson's media wing member Sayrul Kabir Khan.
