Remove confusion over women policy
BNP leaders urge govt
BNP leaders yesterday asked the government to explain about the confusion arose over the women development policy, okayed by the cabinet recently.
“Islamic scholars took stance against the women development policy. It would be proved as anti-Islamic if the government fails to give acceptable clarification regarding the confusions,” Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain told a discussion in the city.
Juba Dal, a front body of BNP, organised the discussion at Engineers Institution Auditorium marking the Independence Day with its president Syed Moazzem Hossain Alal in the chair.
Mosharraf, former minister and member of BNP standing committee, said the government will be forced to give a midterm election by forging a mass movement under the leadership of Khaleda Zia as it showed absolute failure to run the country.
Party's acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said “religious people” supported the Monday's countrywide hartal (called by Islami Ain Bastabayan Committee) as people won't accept anything, which will hurt their religious sentiment.
