Khaleda co-opts idea from AL
Appreciating BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia for her “realisation” that a movement can not be waged by fixing a timeframe, Commerce Minister Tofail Ahmed yesterday said she co-opted the political idea from the ruling Awami League.
“This is our notion…I congratulate her for realising that any movement can not be launched by setting a deadline,” he told journalists at his office after exchanging greetings with officials and employees of his ministry on the first workday after the Eid-ul-Azha holiday.
While exchanging Eid greetings at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre on Monday, Khaleda said BNP would announce the anti-government programmes when the time was right.
“The time looms close. A movement can't be forged by fixing a timeframe. We're in the movement and will be in it. I'll call for a movement when the time is right. The country's people will join us then. This government must go,” she said.
Tofail said Khaleda had continued to issue ultimatums one after another but she had never been able to implement any of those.
Noting that Khaleda had earlier announced to launch a movement after Eid, he said, “As she failed to wage the movement, she is now talking like this only to pacify her activists.”
