People to reply 'misdeeds'
Mosharraf warns govt
BNP standing committee member Dr Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain said people are ready to give reply to the government's “misdeeds” and for creating unstable situation in the country.
He made the remarks at a rally in the city's Muktangon yesterday.
Shechhasebok Dal held the rally protesting cases filed by Anti-corruption Commission against BNP secretary general and former chief whip Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain, former Speaker Zamiruddin Sircar and ex-deputy Speaker Akhter Hamid Siddiqui.
They also protested 'false cases' filed against BNP leaders Amanullah Aman, Nazimuddin Alam and Shechhasebak Dal president Habib-un-Nabi Khan Sohel.
Khandaker Mosharraf said all nationalist and democratic forces will have to be united under the leadership Opposition Leader Khaleda Zia to save the country and its people.
Referring to the two-year old Awami League government's failures in various sectors, he said the government has totally failed to contain prices of essentials as the prices of various commodities have shot up compared to the last year.
Mosharraf said the ruling party will claim success of the completion of another one-year rule but he questioned why prices of various essentials have gone up.
He said now the price of coarse rice is Tk 36 to 38 per kg while one year back it was Tk 26 to 28 a kg. The price of coarse rice was Tk 16 to 18 a kg when BNP completed its tenure in 2006.
The BNP leader said price of garlic is Tk 120 to Tk 180 per kg against Tk 90 kg of the last year.
He protested the cases filed against BNP leaders and its front organisations and demanded immediate withdrawal of the cases.
Presided over by Senior Vice-president of Shechhasebok Dal Monir Hossain, the rally was also addressed, among others, by Shamsuzzman Dudu, Fazlul Huq Milon, M Elias Ali, Zainul Abdin Farooque MP, Abul Khaiyer Bhuiyan MP, Moazzem Hossain Alal, Abdus Salam, Shirin Sultana, Sarafat Ali Sapu and Shafiul Bari Babu.
