BNP will go to power in the next election: Nazrul
Staff Correspondent
BNP Secretary General Khanadker Delwar Hossain on Friday said Awami League wants to establish democracy at gun point.
“Awami League is not a well mannered political party as it always wants to establish democracy at gun point. Polling agents can be ousted from the polling center at gun point but it is not possible to establish democracy at gun point,” he said while addressing a discussion to mark the late President Ziaur Rahman’s 73rd birth anniversary held in city’s Nayapaltan.
He said like December 29 general election, people expectations and hopes have not been reflected in Thursday’s upazila elections. “Country’s independence and sovereignty are at risk since January 11 in 2007. Conspirators at home and abroad have already started reorganizing in order to make Bangladesh a vessel state,” Delwar said.
“It is very interesting that when Awami League is defeated in polls, its President Sheikh Hasina alleges massive vote rigging and election engineering and when Awami League wins the polls, the same leader appreciates election as being held neutrally and fairly. Awami League does not practice democracy. When BNP was in power, Awami League in association with conspirators had branded Bangladesh a failed state. It is not a political party rather but a conspirator which always remains busy to make Bangladesh a vessel country. The people and the country are not safe at the hand of Awami League,” Delwar said.
BNP Joint Secretary General Nazrul Islam Khan alleged that through vote rigging Awami League defeated BNP candidate by seven votes only in Begumganj upazila unmasking its BAKSAL character again. “People have become frustrated following the ruling Awami League’s activities during the upzila election. BNP will go forward and the party will go to power with people’s mandate in the next election,” Nazrul Islam Khan said.
“The army backed caretaker government at first tried to break the BNP into pieces in order to destroy its existence but it failed. Later the caretaker government through arranging a stage managed election, handed over the power to its collaborator,” he said.
