BNP doesn't have issue for movement
Commerce Minister Tofail Ahmed yesterday said BNP was now not in a position to wage movement even on a single issue.
“BNP is repeatedly issuing threats of waging movement after end of the upazila elections. I want to say that it won't be successful. No threats will work,” he said.
Tofail was talking to reporters after paying homage to Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman by placing a wreath at his portrait in front of Bangabandhu Museum in the capital's Dhanmondi on the occasion of his 94th birth anniversary.
Pointing at BNP and its ally Jamaat-e-Islami, the senior Awami League leader said those who were against the country and its Liberation War had been conspiring against the state afresh. He called upon all for getting united to thwart any evil design.
Saying that BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia is dreaming of an early election under a non-party caretaker government, Tofail said the incumbent cabinet had been formed for five years, and the next elections could be held through dialogue after end of this tenure. He, however, said, “Dialogue [for holding an acceptable election] will continue.”
The minister said the fugitive killers of the father of the nation would be brought back to Bangladesh, and the verdicts against them would be executed.
