While speaking Hasan said there is no scope to go beyond the constitution for a polls-time government.”BNP can give a framework for an election-time government, but there is no scope to go beyond constitution,” he told. Hasan said BNP has turned into a ‘toothless venomous snake’ after the party failed to foil the previous parliament election. “The venomous teeth of BNP got broken when they were out to thwart the previous Jatiya Sangsad election,” he added. He said BNP should observe January 5 as a ‘day of suicide’, adding if the party again wants to foil the next election, their act of killing themselves will go to the peak. The function was also addressed, among others, by Advocate Shamsul Haque Tuku, MP, Jatiya Sramik League President Shukkur Mahmud, AL leader Balaram Poddar,Bangabandhu Sangskritik Jote General Secretary Arun Sarker Rana and organisation’s General Secretary Shahdat Hossain Tayel.
