“We are in two-point programmes now — one is to release of jailed party Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia, the other is to dissolution of the Parliament and to realize the poll-time neutral government,” he added
The BNP leader criticized the latest remark of the ruling Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader, where he said that the election would be held in time with or without BNP and asked if there was any relation between Khaleda and election.
The AL leader said this at a programme on Saturday.
Responding to Obaidul’s remark, Rizvi said, “BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia and election are related to each other. Khaleda Zia means symbol of nationalist force, BNP and democracy.”
“Quader’s statement indicated conspiracy to keep Khaleda Zia out of the upcoming general election and to hold a unilateral election forcibly,” he said.
Rizvi said, “BNP would not participate in any national election without Khaleda Zia. BNP would take part in the next general election under Khaleda Zia’s leadership and under a neutral government.”
