Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is going to host a tea-party at Ganabhaban today to exchange greetings with leaders of 75 political parties and alliances in the country.
The tea-event will be held around 3pm, Ganabhaban sources have confirmed the news.
Earlier on Friday, Jatiya Oikyafront meanwhile sent a letter to Ganabhaban stating that it would not join the tea party on the day.
Oikya Front sources said, a three-member delegation of the opposition political alliance handed over the letter to an officer of the Ganabhaban around 11am yesterday.

“Our two MPs-elect will not join the parliament and we are not also going to join the prime minister’s tea party as per our party’s decision,” Dr Kamal Hossain said at a press conference after a party meeting.
Oikyafront’s spokesperson BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, however, announced that they would wear black badge on February 6 in front of the National Press Club in the capital, protesting the “vote rigging” in the recently held national election.
