Nari O Shishu Adhikar Forum
A rally organised by Nari O Shishu Adhikar Forum was held in front of the Jatiya Press Club demanding BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia’s treatment abroad. BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir was present as the chief guest in the programme held on the eighth instant. While speaking Fakhrul said “The current government has again started resorting to various tactics to hang onto power. The President is holding talks…many political parties have already boycotted it saying clearly that it won’t bear fruits,” he said. Fakhrul said the ongoing dialogue on the reconstitution of the Election Commission will turn out to be a pointless exercise since it is being done as part of the government’s various fresh tactics to cling to power again. “The current government has again started resorting to various tactics to hang onto power. The President is holding talks…many political parties have already boycotted it saying clearly that it won’t bear fruits,” said BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir. The BNP leader said the government must completely free Khaleda Zia and hand over the power to a neutral government to ‘restore’ people’s voting rights and overcome the country’s political ‘crisis’. Fakhrul urged the political parties to get united for the ‘restoration’ of democracy and people’s voting rights in the country. The function was also addressed, among others, by BNP Standing Committee members Gayeshwar Chandra Roy, Selima Rahman and Nagorik Oikya Convener Mahmudur Rahman Manna.
