Hasina's opponents foil plan to hold Dhaka rally

DHAKA:

The rally in Dhaka by Hasina's Bangladesh Nationalist Party was to commemorate the death of a party activist on November 10, 1987, which had sparked a mass protest against then military dictator H. M. Ershad. He was eventually ousted from office, ending his nine-year rule in 1990.

The day is commemorated as "democracy day".
