She also urged her party men to retaliate in similar way if attacked by their political opponents.

Urging all other political parties to help caretaker government hold a free and fair election, she said, "President has taken up the charge of chief advisor constitutionally".

She was addressing a huge rally in front of the BNP central office at Naya Paltan to declare a three-day programme against anarchy and vandalism of 'the 14-party combine'. Dhaka mayor Sadeque Hossain Khoka presided over the rally, attended by a host of 4-party alliance leaders and thousands of workers.

The BNP chairperson asked them to take serious preparation for a vote revolution in the upcoming polls. "We must go ahead with our roadmap for development," she said amid applauses and slogans from the audience.

She accused the Awami League for killing 24 people in the last few days. "The caretaker government must have to take action against persons involved with these killings."

"We showed enough of our patience and won't tolerate anymore. We know how to tackle someone trying to create anarchy.

"From now on, if anyone tries to attack on my workers, we will hit back."

Khaleda was also critical of the intention of her rivals about participating in elections.

"They have no chance of going into power. That is why they are trying to foil the next election, upsetting the democratic process through anarchy," she said. "We will not allow anyone to create constitutional crisis and thwart the next election."

She alleged they (AL) conspired to occupy the Bangabhaban. "As part of foreign conspiracy, they did everything to destroy the economy," she claimed. "They are not politicians but national betrayers."

They will not even be able to retain the seats they got in the 2001 election, she teased.

"After witnessing the anarchic situation in the last few days, the people now can realise that they will victimise the people as soon as they come to the power," she said.

"People must have to decide against voting a fascist political party," said Khaleda, assuring all to protect people's life and property if her party gets another mandate.

She also urged the law enforcers to help the caretaker government properly.

The BNP will hold rallies and processions in all divisional headquarters today, in cities and district towns Wednesday and in all cities and upazilas Thursday.

Among others, BNP secretary general Abdul Mannan Bhuiyan and standing committee member Khandaker Mahbub Uddin Ahmad and Moudud Ahmad, Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Motiur Rahman Nizami and secretary general Ali Ahsan Mujahidi, BJP chairman Abdul Matin, BJP (Naziur) secretary general Saifur Rahman, Islami Oikkyo Jote Chairman Fazlul Haque Aminee also spoke.
