"Good deeds of the government must be appreciated, but there should not be any scope for sycophancy. The government should not create any such group to legalise its activities. Rather, it is the duty of the next government, whoever they are, to legalise this government's activities," he said.

The LDP leader, who quit the BNP in protest against corruption of the previous BNP-Jamaat coalition government, was speaking as the chief guest at a meeting in memory of four National Awami Party (Bhashani) leaders, organised by Bhashani Supporters Group at the National Press Club.

He said the politicians who desert one party and float another for their own benefit can never form a political party based on a strong foundation.

He also cited examples that many leaders from the BNP once joined the Jatiya Party but finally quit it.

The LDP leader also said that many of his party leaders are revolting within the party because of his efforts to bring about massive reforms in the party.

"We are including more provisions in the party constitution so that the party refrains from calling hartal, laying siege and resorting to violent activities that hamper development and disrupt the public life," he added.

Besides, there will be provisions not allowing more than two persons of the same family to be members of the party's executive committee, Oli Ahmed said, adding that the presidium members of the respective regions will help form regional committees of the party and there will be no scope for the secretary general to form such committees.

Criticising the BNP, he said if Khaleda Zia and other top leaders of the party had listened to him, they would not have faced such grave danger today.

"The joint forces should investigate how the political leaders who virtually had nothing became the owners of houses in posh areas in the city," he said.

Journalist Gias Kamal Chowdhury and former director general of Bangla Academy Dr Ashraf Siddiqui also spoke at the meeting presided over by Bhashani Supporters Group President Moshtaq Ahmad Bhashani.
