Project govt's successes: Tarique

'The party you belong to now leads the Four-Party Alliance government. So you are part of the government too, if not directly,' he told the Third Union-level Conference of Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) here. About 1,800 delegates attended the meeting.

Tarique, who chaired the function, also urged the party men to give a comparative projection of activities of the ruling and the opposition parties. There are a few parties inside and outside the parliament, which lost their organisational baseline after the last general election.

BNP Standing Committee member and Law Minister Barrister Moudud Ahmed opened the conference at Cox's Bazar stadium after Thakurgaon and Kushtia.

Tarique said when the government under Prime Minister Khaleda Zia was carrying forward different development programmes combating terrorism, a few opposition parties and their leadership were opposing the activities.
