Four advisers arrived and began a meeting with BNP chief Khaleda Zia at her cantonment home Friday night, reports bdnews24.com.
The meeting takes place a day after she said her party would join electoral dialogue and general elections planned for December.
Commerce adviser Hossain Zillur Rahman told the news agency that the three other advisers were law adviser AF Hassan Ariff, communication adviser Ghulam Quader and local government adviser Anwarul Iqbal.
He would not say what was the meeting all about.
Khaleda, standing trial on a raft of graft charges, was released from prison on bail Thursday after a year''s detention.
UNB adds: The BNP''s Standing Committee will hold a meeting today (Saturday) at the party headquarters in the city''s Naya Paltan area.
Party Chairperson Khaleda Zia will chair the meeting at 3:00pm, said Mahbubur Rahman, a member of the committee.
There had been no meeting of the Standing Committee, the highest policymaking body in the party, since January 11 last year when President Iajuddin Ahmed declared a state of emergency to quell weeks of street violence over political reforms.
This is originally a 13-member committee but now it has 12 members after KM Obaidur Rahman''s death. Currently, 10 members are outside while two others are behind bars.
Khaleda Zia was released from prison on Thursday on bail.
After her release, she said her party would join the dialogue with the caretaker government to expressing her intention to participate in the national polls. She demanded the national polls first and creation of congenial atmosphere including relaxation of the state of emergency for holding the polls in free, fair and credible manner.
She was arrested last year on graft charges in four cases.
