Qureshi for discipline in army

Worried over the plot in the army to topple the government, Progressive Democratic Party (PDP) Chairman Dr Ferdous Ahmed Qureshi yesterday said maintaining discipline in the army under the current "unstable" situation in the country has become more necessary than at any other time.
“Military force is a national resource…there is no alternative to a powerful and disciplined military force for the protection of a modern nation state,” he told a press conference at PDP office at Segunbagicha in the city.
Referring to the torture on the Bangladeshi youth Habibur Rahman by Indian BSF men, Qureshi urged the Indian government to seek pardon from Bangladesh for the incident.
He also called upon the main opposition BNP not to spend a huge amount of money for organising political programmes like long marches.
