‘BNP doesn't need conspiracy to come to power’
Party spokesperson says in view of PM’s comments
BNP does not need to resort to conspiracy to come to power, the party’s spokesperson said today asserting that it was rather the Awami League who is seasoned in this regard.
Acting Secretary General of BNP Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir’s comments came in view of the allegation made by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina that the party is conspiring to create anarchy inside the country.
The PM’s say on BNP conspiring came during her nearly two-hour long briefing yesterday, in the backdrop of reports that the party chairperson Khaleda Zia secretly met some civil servant officials.
“Khaleda Zia came to politics through hard work and long experience on the field of politics. She did not hide abroad,” he said while addressing a press conference at BNP chairperson’s Gulshan office in Dhaka.
“She did not come to power on the basis of a compromise with any special group.”
“It was Awami League who has absolute experience with conspiracy. When HM Ershad took power in 1982, Sheikh Hasina said she was not unhappy,” he said.
“The Awami League endorsed the Moinuddin-Fakhruddin government to come to power. This is the historical truth,” Fakhrul alleged.
Referring to Hasina’s recent media briefing, Fakhrul said: “she said that BNP has lost its ground. Then we say, let us arrange an election under nonpartisan body to prove who has actually lost the ground underneath.”
The Daily Star found out that over 50 civil servants attended the meeting which, among others, discussed a “possible general election” in upcoming March under compulsion from internal and external pressure.
