Dhaka: Dropping a broad hint at waging a ‘peaceful' street movement after Eid-ul-Fitr with the demand for an election-time ‘supportive' government, BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia on Saturday called upon people to get united for making it a success.
“The incidents of killing, enforced disappearance and repression on women are still taking place. They (govt) couldn't do anything to stop those.
That's why people have become fed-up and they may themselves get united after Ramadan against the regime,” she said.
The BNP chief further said, “We think we have to take to the streets after the Eid-ul-Fitr uniting people with peaceful programmes against the government's repressive acts and misdeeds. If we can launch such a movement, the country's common people will also join it.”
Khaleda came up with the remarks while speaking at an iftar party arranged by National People's Party (NPP), a component of the BNP-led 20-party alliance, at a city hotel.
She said people will not allow anyone to hold any further election under Sheikh Hasina. “I urge all to get united as our 20-party alliance is united, and we'll ensure a credible election under a supportive government through peaceful programmes.”
