UNB, Dhaka :
Food Minister Qamrul Islam on Friday claimed that BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia has called for forging a national unity in a bid to save herself from cases filed against her.
“She knows very well that she would face trial for killing people in arson and petrol bomb attacks. Now, she is calling for a national unity to save herself from lawsuits filed against her in connection with terrorism and killing people,” he said.
Qamrul, also a joint general secretary of Awami League’s Dhaka city unit, was addressing a discussion at Shilpakala Academy in the city. Speaking at a discussion at the Institution of Diploma Engineers, Bangladesh marking BNP’s 37th founding anniversary on Tuesday, Khaleda Zia urged the government to follow the politics of unity, welfare, development shunning the vengeful one for implementation of the Liberation War spirit.
She also assured the ruling Awami League that her party will not go for any political revenge if it returns to power, and urged the government to arrange an election under a non-party election after reconstituting the Election Commission with neutral people. Observing that the BNP chief along with her associates has to face trial for her every wrongdoing, Qamrul said Khaleda cannot escape the trial no matter how hard she tries. Citing a recent survey conducted by US-based International Republican Institute (IRI) which revealed that the support for the government and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina reached 66 percent and 67 percent respectively, the minister said it proves majority of people love this government as expected development continues in the country. He also said there is no chance of holding any snap polls as people have extended their support to this government and the Prime Minister.
