The opposition chief has said she will announce new anti-government movement programmes at Chittagong.
"On Jan 8 and 9, we will march to Chittagong," she told reporters on Wednesday. "From there we will announce our new programmes. BNP is not an underground or banned party. We tell the people what we are planning to do."
Members of the Christian community called on the BNP chairperson at her Gulshan office to exchange Christmas greetings.
She cut a Christmas cake with them and exchanged greetings, saying, "If BNP comes to power, we will consider Christian community's representation in our government."
She talked of "oppression of minorities" under the present government, particularly the "usurpation of church and temple properties".
Khaleda also held the government responsible for the recent "secret killings" and said, "Let me spell it out, these killings will be judged. No one will get away with manslaughter."
She accused the government of anarchy.
"We believe in organised movement and are pursuing peaceful programmes. In three years, we held nine general strikes, and in our term Awami League had 173 hartals," she said.
"The government did not keep any of its promises to the people. They are busy with looting and corruption," she added.
She also said the government had systematically planned the incidents that took place in the capital on Dec 18.
