BNP missing a chance by rejecting PM's offer
Says Suranjit on interim govt
Minister without portfolio Suranjit Sengupta yesterday said the opposition BNP was missing the opportunity by turning down the prime minister's proposal on interim government for holding the next general election.
Addressing a discussion at Dhaka Reporters Unity, he said the rejection of the PM's offer by the BNP “proved they (BNP) are engaged in new conspiracy” for foiling democracy.
Bangabandhu Sangskritik Jote organised the discussion titled "Bringing back the fugitive convicts of the Bangabandhu murder case."
In an interview with BBC Bangla in London on Monday, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said the main opposition BNP would have representation in an interim government to be formed for conducting the next general election.
Suranjit said the PM's offer on interim government was in consistence with the constitution, and the BNP was missing the opportunity by rejecting the proposal.
Suranjit, also an Awami League presidium member, said Khaleda Zia had “engaged herself in a new conspiracy for foiling democracy through undemocratic and unconstitutional means.”
Referring to Grameen Bank, he said the government could not give special facilities to a particular bank. “So the managing director of Grameen Bank will be appointed as per law.”
Chaired by Fatema Begum Sathi, the city unit joint convenor of Bangabandhu Sangskritik Jote, the meeting was also addressed by Awami League presidium member Dr Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir and State Minister for Law Advocate Quamrul Islam.
