BNP ready to talk release of Khaleda
BNP Secretary General Khandaker Delwar Hossain yesterday said his party is ready to sit with the caretaker government if it agrees to hold talks over the release of their party Chairperson Khaleda Zia.
"We are yet to receive any proposal from the government about the release of our party chairperson. No discussion was held with the government on the matter," Delwar told reporters after a joint party meeting at his Nam flat in the capital.
He demanded declaring May 30, on which party's founder Ziaur Rahman was assassinated, as 'national mourning day' and also observing November 7 a public holiday.
He said unity will be brought in the party following directions from the party chief.
"We might have different opinions but we shall remain united," the BNP secretary general added.
BNP has taken elaborate programmes to observe its 30th founding anniversary on September 1.
Meanwhile, BNP chairperson's adviser ASM Hannan Shah yesterday said only Khaleda Zia can bring unity in the party.
Mannan Bhuiyan was responsible for causing rift in the party but he later realised his mistake, Shah told journalists at the grave of Ziaur Rahman.
