BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia has renewed her call for dialogue, urging the government to resolve the ongoing political crisis in the country through dialogue with opposition parties and holding an acceptable election.
“The ball is now in the ruling party’s court. We hope that they will take initiative to hold dialogue discarding the path of conflict,” she said.
The BNP chief was addressing a conference of a faction of Islami Oikya Jote (IOJ) in the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh (IEB) on Thursday. IOJ’s Chairman Advocate Abdur Rakib chaired the function, while BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, president of Jatiya Ganotantrik Party (Jagpa) Shafiul Alam Prodhan and Hefajat-e-Islam’s Dkaka city unit chief Maulana Noor Hossain Quashemi also addressed it, among others.
Khaleda Zia called upon the leaders and activists of the Islami Oikya Jote and the ulema-mashayekh to get united to raise voice against the misrule and misdeeds of the government. She also called upon them to be vocal for an inclusive Parliamentary election.
“There is no rule of law in the country. All the institutions have almost collapsed. An anarchic situation prevails in the country,” she said.
She criticised the government for vote fraud and irregularities during the UP and municipality polls. The government has snatched the voting rights of the people, and the ruling party men are looting the wealth of people, she said.
Khaleda Zia said that the people of the country want relief from this situation.
