Oust govt movement from May 9
Announce BNP leaders
BNP leaders at a rally in the city yesterday announced that they would launch an oust government movement on May 9.
Earlier, BNP announced the day for a protest rally demanding midterm election.
“Tens of thousands of people will attend the rally on May 9 which will be the start of the movement to oust the government. We won't return to the house without being successful,” said party's acting Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir.
He was addressing a rally at Muktangon in the city as part of party's programme protesting price hike of essentials. Party's district units also submitted memorandum to deputy commissioners across the country.
According to the previous announcement, the party will stage countrywide demonstration on May 9 demanding midterm election.
Mirza Alamgir said the government has 'cheated' the people in the name of brining changes in the constitution to implement their own interest which won't be acceptable to the countrymen.
He said the government has completely failed to check the price hike of essentials, first pledge in their election manifesto. “Ministers, criminals and extortionists are leading a luxurious life while the people are suffering.”
Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain, Altaf Hossain Chowdhury, Zainul Abdin Farroque and Amanullah Aman also spoke at the rally with Alamgir in the chair.
