Govt dents country's image abroad: BNP
Leader of the Opposition in Parliament and BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia in Saudi Arabia yesterday alleged that the Awami League-led grand alliance government has tarnished the country's image abroad.
Khaleda Zia, who is now visiting Saudi Arabia, was addressing a discussion at a local hotel organised by BNP's Saudi Arabia unit to mark the country's 40th Independence and National Day, Maruf Kamal Khan, press secretary of the BNP chief, said in a release.
Describing the country's present condition as unwell, the opposition leader also said the incumbent government could not resolve any problem of the people in the last two years.
"The present government has no alternative but resigning. People became so fed up with this government. I, therefore, am demanding a mid-term election."
She also said the government has dented the country's reputation in the world, as "no foreign investment" has been channeled to Bangladesh.
"We will establish the rule of law in the country if we win the next election. We will unearth the real perpetrators involved in BDR carnage and also give back dignity and respect of Prof Muhammad Yunus and other dignitaries," said the opposition leader.
Khaleda Zia yesterday reached Madina to offer special Munajat at the Rowza Mubarak of Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (SM). She will also visit Mecca to perform Umra hajj. The BNP chief is expected to return home on April 02.
