AL plotting to foil BNP's nat'l council
BNP Secretary General Khandaker Delwar Hossain yesterday said their allegations about Awami League's 'conspiracy' to foil BNP's national council have proved right by the recent incidents of setting fire to its offices by the ruling party activists.
"The ruling party is still trying to foil our council, we apprehend that. BNP will hold it in time, no matter what they are trying to thwart the council," he warned.
Delwar said this when reporters sought his comments at the party central office on Awami League presidium member Syeda Sajeda Chowdhury's recent remarks.
Reacting to Sajeda's comments, he said the statements made by Sajeda Chowdhury were untrue. "It doesn't look nice when a senior responsible leader like her talks like that."
On Sunday, Sajeda reportedly said BNP was born amid anarchy and indiscipline and criticised BNP "for carrying out propaganda against the government and issuing threat to topple it within three months, resulting in the BDR headquarters carnage."
Sajeda also alleged that BNP had hatched conspiracy to kill Sheikh Hasina and "that conspiracy is still on."
Refuting the allegations, Delwar said people will judge the authenticity of her statements.
About ruling party leaders' comments over boycotting parliament by BNP, he said they want to go to parliament but the way they have undermined the dignity of parliament by hurling abuses and assassinating the characters of BNP leaders, including leader of the opposition Khaleda Zia, now they have to think whether BNP could go to parliament.
On the recent election to Bangladesh Medical Association, he said the panels of the ruling party were made elected unilaterally through rigging, forgery and partiality.
"As a matter of fact, AL is used to resorting to such vote fraud."
Referring to various repressive measures and attempts against BNP by the government, he said they have not left any stone unturned to destroy BNP.
Delwar mentioned that detained former state minister for home Lutfozzaman Babar was taken on remand repeatedly since the military-backed caretaker government had taken power to take forceful confessional statements to implicate BNP senior joint secretary general Tarique Rahman in various cases.
But the attempt has not succeeded yet, he added.
