The Bangladesh Nationalist Party on Tuesday warned the government saying that it would be facing one-point movement aimed at overthrowing the government after Eid if it did not concede to their demand for an election-time, non-party government.
The acting BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said that if good sense prevailed on the government, it would accept the opposition’s demand for next general elections being held under a non-party government.
He threatened that the government would, otherwise, would face a ‘one-point’
movement after Eid.
Fakhrul made the remarks as he talked with reporters at the graveside of the late president Ziaur Rahman, also founder of the BNP, at Sher-e-Bangla Nagar in the capital.
Fakhrul, along with leaders and activists of the Doctors Association of Bangladesh, a platform of pro-BNP physicians, earlier placed wreaths and said prayers at the graveside marking the 24th founding anniversary of the association.
Asked about the Awami League’s hoarding campaign highlighting the government’s achievement, Fakhrul said that people had already understood why the government was doing that. People have given their verdict against the government in the city elections, he added.
The BNP leader said that the government had failed in all sectors and harmed democracy.
The association’s president Abdul Aziz and the secretary general AZM Zahid Hossain were present.
