Make hartal a success: Khaleda

Staff Correspondent
BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia last night urged the people to make tomorrow's hartal successful and said tougher programmes will follow if the government is failed to resolve crises like acute shortage of gas, water, and electricity. “Hartal will be withdrawn if only the existing gas, water, and electricity crises are resolved. Otherwise it is not the last hartal. More programme will be announced,” she said while addressing a joining ceremony at her Gulshan office. Eminent heart specialist Dr Mohosin Zillur Karim joined BNP by placing bouquet to the party's chairperson. Referring to Arial Beel incident, the former premier said cancellation of the project of building a new airport is not enough. The government must withdraw the case filed against thousands of local people, she said. Mohosin Zillur Karim said a platform is a must for bringing change in the country and nationalistic force is the only such platform. Former ministers M Morshed Khan and Abdullah Al Noman, Golam Akbar Khandaker, Zafrul Islam Chowdhury, and Shahiduddin Chowdhury Anee were also present.
