BNP Standing Committee Member Khondoker Mosharraf Hossain here yesterday demanded midterm election since the present government failed at every sector to rule the country. He was addressing as the chief guest at a rally jointly organised by BNP Chittagong city, south and north district units yesterday afternoon at Laldighi Maidan, presided over by BNP Chittagong city unit President Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury. Mosharraf said Awami League-led grand alliance government failed to keep its electoral pledges like keeping reasonable prices of commodities, which now is beyond people's purchasing capacity. The government failed to provide any utility services like electricity, gas and water while the country's economy is being destroyed, he alleged. Over 33 lakh small investors lost their money due to share market fall, he alleged, adding that senior government officials are involved in the share market scam, which is why they are not being brought under trial. If this situation continues, the suffering of the people would increase and so this government should not be given any more time, he said. He blamed the government for harassing the opposition party leaders including BNP leader Salahuddin Quader Chowdhury by charging false cases. BNP leaders Mir Md Nasiruddin Chowdhury, Jafrul Islam Chowdhury MP, Gias Uddin Quader Chowdhury, Syed Wahidul Alam and Mostafa Kamal Pasha MP also spoke.
