Wage movement like Egyptians: Khaleda
BNP Chairperson and Leader of the Opposition Khaleda Zia last night urged the people to forge a movement against the misdeeds of thepresent government like the Egyptians did to protect their country.
“Mass upsurges to protect people's rights have compelled the heads of many countries to step down,” she said while addressing a joining ceremony at her Gulshan office.
A number of Jatiya Party leaders of Sunamganj district units led by Col (retd) Syed Ali Ahmed yesterday joined BNP.
Khaleda asked the people to get prepared for a movement, not for the power but to protect the country.
The former premier said the next parliamentary elections must be held under a caretaker government as “Free and fair election is not possible under the Awami League government and the present election commission.”
She termed the election commission “not neutral” while the incumbent government “failed” and “worse than autocrat”.
Party Secretary General Khandaker Delwar Hossain and Vice President Shamser Mobin Chowdhury, among others, spoke at the ceremony chaired by Ilyas Ali, BNP organizational affair secretary.
