Govt to blame if road march foiled: BNP
The government would be held responsible for any attempt taken to foil BNP's Chittagong road march in January, warned BNP Standing Committee Member MK Anwar yesterday.
“Do not proceed through an impassable way. You are losing your foothold. We want to complete the road march peacefully,” he said.
He said this while talking to journalists at a local hotel in Chittagong city after a divisional preparatory meeting on the road march and successive rallies.
According to the programme schedule, BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia is expected to lead the road march from the capital on January 8 and address a public meeting in Chittagong the next day.
Claiming BNP's programmes as peaceful, Anwar said, “Three other road marches were completed peacefully. Sometimes, the government cooperated with us and we thanked them for it.”
People are eager to see the fast departure of this government because the country's independence and sovereignty is not safe in their hands, he said.
Opposition Chief Whip Zainul Abdin Farroque, BNP Central Vice Chairman M Morshed Khan, BNP city unit President Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury, BNP chairperson's Adviser Mir Mohammad Nasir Uddin, Central Organising Secretary Mohammad Shahjahan, Barkat Ullah Bulu, Golam Akbar Khandakar, Syed Wahidul Alam and ameer of Chittagong unit of Jamaat-e-Islami Shamsul Islam were present.
