Staff Reportar :
BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Friday categorically rejected the accusation of maintaining relationship with the Jewish State of Israel. He vehemently criticised some ruling party ministers and leaders for manufacturing a story about BNP that it shook hands with Tel Aviv to topple the Bangladesh government.
“BNP has its full support for the people of Palestine and its sovereignty, expressing optimism that the prevailing fraternity will remain alive in future. The party on many occasions condemned Israel for unleashing acts of aggression against the people of Palestime,” Fakhrul said in response to the ruling party’s allegation, linking BNP with Mossad, the Israel’s state intelligence agency.
The BNP leader was speaking at a press
conference held in the party’s Naya Paltan Central Office in Dhaka.
“BNP is a liberal political party. It believes in changeover of power through election process only and not in any unconstitutional way”.
In the briefing, the secretary general announced to hold countrywide protest rally in all district headquarters and metropolitan cities except Dhaka on May 15 in protest against filing of false cases and submitting charge sheets against party Chairperson Khaleda Zia. He said the rally in Dhaka city would be held on May 16.
When asked about the party’s reaction over the execution of Motiur Rahman Nizami, Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh, on charge of committing war-crimes during the War for Independence in 1971, Fakhrul said, BNP is always in favour of the trial against war criminals, but that must be transparent, fair and free, and not politically motivated.
BNP Standing Committee Member Mirza Abbas, Vice Chairman Chowdhury Kamal Ibne Yousuf, Selima Rahman, Altaf Hossain Chowdhury and Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi also were present on the briefing.
Meanwhile, the party Standing Committee Member Nazrul Islam Khan the same day said that India unilaterally withdrew water from the international rivers depriving us of our shares. It is because there is no elected government in Bangladesh.
