Dhaka: Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan on Sunday said whether BNP will be given the permission or not to stage rally at Suhrawardy Udyan in Dhaka will be decided after the assessment of the security arrangement, report local media.

The minister came up with the remark while talking to journalists after attending a programme at Fire Service and Civil Defense Training Complex at Mirpur in the city.
