BNP leaders for gaining back public trust

Senior BNP leaders yesterday stressed the need to bring back people's trust in the party that it is fighting to restore democracy in the country, and not to cling to power. 

BNP standing committee member Moudud Ahmed, at a discussion, said if the people trust BNP again, only then will they join the anti-government movement.

The discussion was organised by the party marking the release of its senior vice chairperson Tarique Rahman from jail on bail, at the Institute of Diploma Engineers, Bangladesh.       

Another BNP standing committee member Hannan Shah urged the party men to wage a tough movement that would force the government to remove all barriers to Tarique's return to the country.

Goyeswar Chandra Roy, also a standing committee member, said the ruling-Awami League has no desire to hold a fair poll in the country.
