The government will be held responsible for anarchy created in the country if it tries to obstruct opposition's peaceful programmes, BNP Secretary General Khandaker Delwar Hossain warned yesterday.
“We will continue our protest in a peaceful manner but if it tries to hinder our programmes then it will be solely responsible for any unrest there from,” he said while addressing a demonstration in the city's Muktangon.
The main opposition party yesterday staged demonstrations in all divisional headquarters protesting various issues like the government's notice to BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia to vacate her cantonment house and killing of Boraigram upazila chairman and BNP Leader Sanaullah Noor Babu.
Delwar said the government is scheming to use the judiciary to implement its plans, which will go against the law.
“The government will be solely responsible if any 'special situation' arises when it interferes with the law,” he warned.
He said the people will oust the incumbent government through a peaceful movement as it has failed to run the country properly.
“The government is trying to carry out its vengeance by ousting Khaleda from her house,” he said.
Delwar said the notice served to Khaleda to vacate her cantonment house was entirely a political decision.
Party leaders Abdul Moyeen Khan, Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, Moazzem Hossain Alal, Habib Un Nabi Khan Sohel and Shafiul Alam Pradhan, among others, spoke on the occasion with Dhaka City Corporation (DCC) Mayor Sadeque Hossain Khoka in the chair.Meanwhile, in a separate statement issued yesterday, Delwar asked the government not to harass BNP's Standing Committee member Salahuddin Quader Chowdhury.
