The BNP on Saturday accused the government of trying to keep its chief Khaleda Zia and Tarique Rahman away from politics by filing fabricated cases.
“The government always strives hard to make Khaleda Zia, Tarique Rahman, the Zia family and the BNP politically silent forever by filing false cases and resorting to oppressions to secure power,” said BNP Joint-Secretary General Syed Moazzem Hossain Alal while addressing a press briefing at the party’s Nayapaltan office.
Alal brought the allegations protesting a remark made by senior Awami League leader and Health Minister Mohammad Nasim.
The health minister on Friday said, BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia always thinks how to eliminate the AL and the 14-party alliance.
He said it in a discussion meeting in the city.
Mohammad Nasim also said that late President Ziaur Rahman and Begum Khaleda Zia are similar to Khandakar Mushtak Ahmed and Hussain Muhammad Ershad. Alal said that Nasim had compared Ziaur Rahman with such a leader who is their political partner while Khandaker Mushtak was a senior leader of AL.
The BNP leader accused the government of killing arrested militants in the name of ‘gunfight,’ closing the door to find out the fact of militancy. He alleged that the government did not believe in democracy.
He also denounced the new arrest warrant against the party’s Senior Joint-Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi saying the government filed false cases against the BNP leaders.
