UNB, Dhaka :
Criticising BNP for its failure to wage any movement with public issues, Gonoshasthya Kendra founder Dr Zafrullah Chowdhury on Tuesday said senior leaders of the party have apparently become ‘deaf and blind’.
“Though there’re many big leaders in BNP, I think they’ve become deaf and blind. The government has been making mistakes one after another, but they can’t do anything as they can’t see or hear anything,” he said.
Zafrullah, also a freedom fighter, came up with the remarks while speaking at a discussion arranged by Jatiya Party (Zafar), one of the components of the BNP-led 20-party alliance, at the Jatiya Press Club, marking ‘Amar Ekushey’, the Language Martyrs’ Day and International Mother Language Day.
He said BNP has long been talking about only one issue of its chairperson Khaleda Zia’s release ignoring the public issues. “Even, they can’t speak straightly about the release of Khaleda Zia.”
The freedom fighter said Khaleda has the right to go abroad for medical treatment as she is ill. “The rights have to be realised.”
He said though all the offices, courts, madrasas and maktabs are now open, general educational institutions still remained closed.
