Khaleda's Birthday
Ex-BNP MP urges not to observe on Aug 15
Former BNP lawmaker major (retd) Akhtaruzzaman yesterday urged party chief Begum Khaleda Zia to refrain from celebrating her "so-called" birthday on August 15 henceforth in the "greater interest of the party as well as the country."
"I ardently urge opposition leader Begum Khaleda Zia to refrain from celebrating her so-called birthday from now on in the greater interest of the pafrty and the country," he said in a statement on the eve of the National Mourning Day.
He added: "The celebration of anybody's birthday with festivity on August 15 is not only vulgar or un-courteous, but also expression of disregard to the belief of the people".
The BNP leader said the opposition leader has been tarnishing her image herself before the people by celebrating the birthday since BNP assumed power in 1991.
