BNP believes in open discussion
Says Khaleda
BNP does not believe in any backdoor dialogues rather it demands open discussions only on reinstatement of a nonpartisan government system to hold credible parliamentary elections, said BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia last night.
Elections under the Awami League-led government will not be credible or fair, she told some Awami League defectors at BNP's Gulshan office in the capital.
BNP, through a movement, will compel the government to amend the constitution to reintroduce the system and her party has no problem if the present government completes its full tenure, she said.
Senbagh upazila Jubo League President Ali Akkas with around 100 followers joined BNP on the eve of the prime minister's scheduled visit to Noakhali.
On the occasion, Khaleda also said the government was killing opposition leaders and good organisers who were vocal against the misdeeds of the government.
In this regard, she cited the names of BNP leader Ilias Ali, president of BNP's ward-56 unit of Dhaka City Corporation Chowdhury Alam Mazumdar and general secretary of the ward Rafiqul Islam.
Among others, BNP leaders Moudud Ahmed and Zainul Abdin Farroque were present on the occasion.
