BNP bouncing back, claims Fakhrul

UNB, Dhaka :
BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Sunday claimed that their party has started bouncing back with its ‘thoughts and activities’.
Speaking at a roundtable discussion, he also said their party’s coalition with Jamaat and other parties of the 20-party alliance is political one and aimed at carrying out anti-government agitations, not to govern the country together.
“BNP has started
making a turnaround in its thinking and action. It’s visible in its Visions 2030 presentation,” Fakhrul said.
Centre for National and Regional Research Studies arranged the programme on BNP’s Vision 2030 at the Jatiya Press Club.
Criticising the ruling party leaders for rejecting the Vision 2030, Fakhrul said, “Some Awami League leaders are saying our Vision 2030 is a blunt approach while some others are saying we imitated theirs. The fact is that Awami League has changed their political philosophy and programmes following BNP’s ones.”
Speaking at the discussion, Nagorik Oikya convener Mahmudur Rahman Manna said Khaleda Zia in her Vision 2030 said her party, if returns to power, will establish a pro-people government with giving proper importance and hounor to all the activities relating to the Liberation War. “But a question can be raised what will be BNP’s position if it is given the charge for governing the country through an election?”
Replying to Manna’s question, Fakhrul said, “We should make it clear that our alliance with the 20-party and Jamaat is totally movement-oriented one.”
In the 20-party’s declaration, the BNP leader said, it has clearly been said that the alliance was formed to wage a movement against the Awami League government’s autocracy and fascism with an aim to install a pro-people government. “So, there’s no need to say what will be our relation with Jamaat in 2030.”
