Delwar blames AL leaders for killing Bangabandhu

BNP Secretary General Khandaker Delwar Hossain yesterday blamed Awami League leaders for killing Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in 1975.
"Awami League leaders were behind the killing of Bangabandhu. Some army officials were also with them. But the present government and its allies are now accusing late president Ziaur Rahman of the killing," he said while inaugurating a procession organised by Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) to mark the 'National Revolution and Solidarity Day'.
Hundreds of leaders, workers and supporters of JCD joined the procession, which started its march from in front of the BNP's central office at Naya Paltan and ended at the National Press Club in the city.
Delwar said his party doesn't want any conflict in the country and that they are not thinking of launching any agitation programme right now. "We will resist the government if it does not refrain from doing misdeeds," he added.
"The government is doing everything to destroy BNP. Our leaders and workers are being tortured. The government is torturing our party men after taking them on remand, but we are showing restraint," he said.
The BNP leader also said his party would announce tough progrmmes to resist any 'anti-nation' activities of the government.
Party leaders Amanullah Aman, Fazlul Haque Milon, Nazimuddin Alam, Khairul Kabir Khokon, Habib-un-Nabi Sohel and Shafiul Bari Babu, JCD president Sultan Salahuddin Tuku and general secretary Amirul Islam Alim joined the procession.
