block
UNB, Dhaka :
BNP on Monday alleged that Awami League leaders are trying to make President Abdul Hamid controversial over formation of the Election Commission (EC) as they know they cannot return to power through fair polls.
We thank the President as he yesterday told the parliament that I want to see democracy is progressing ahead with all. We’re also repeatedly saying it. We want to see inclusive democracy, election and politics so that all can participate in it. Unfortunately, the party has now been in
power by force doesn’t want it, said BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir. Speaking at a discussion, he further said, They (AL) know it very well they won’t be able to return to power through a free and fair election. So, they now want to create controversies. Even they’re trying to make the President controversial. It’s painful when their top leaders make baseless and unguarded remarks.
Jatiyatabadi Ainjibi Forum, a pro-BNP lawyer’s platform, arranged the discussion, marking BNP founder Ziaur Rahman’s 81st birth anniversary. On Sunday last, Awami League general secretary Obaidul Quader at a programme in the city said: You (Khaleda) have proposed the name of ex-chief justice KM Hasan whom you wanted to make your chief adviser, to include in the search committee.
