PM calls BNP illegal
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today lambasted late president Ziaur Rahman for capturing state power illegally and termed his party, BNP, illegal.
“The party founded by an illegal person is also illegal,” she said at a programme at her official residence Gono Bhaban this evening.
Hasina, also chief of the ruling Awami League, came up with the remark at a time when BNP Senior Vice Chairman Tarique Rahman are making controversial comments about the history of the country and Bangabandhu.
Speaking at a function in London where he has been staying for more than five years, Tarique on March 8 said Sheikh Mujibur Rahman became the prime minister of country in 1972 illegally.
BNP-Jamaat alliance does not believe in the independence and constitution of the country, she said adding that is why there are making rubbish statements about the constitution and the country’s history.
Newly elected chairman, vice-chairmen and local leaders of Tungipara upazila met with the premier at her residence.
About the just concluded upazila elections, the prime minister said candidates from all parties were elected as the polls were held in a free, fair and credible manner.
