BNP likely to reply to Speaker's letter today
BNP will reply to the Speaker's third letter to the Leader of the Opposition in Parliament requesting her party to return to the House.
Deputy Leader of the Opposition Prof AQM Badrudozza Chowdhury told the reporters at 29 Minto Road yesterday that they had finalised the reply and opposition Chief Whip Khandaker Delwar Hossain would reply to the letter on behalf of Khaleda Zia.
Speaker Humayun Rasheed Chowdhury wrote the third letter to the opposition leader on January 13.
The BNP, JP and Jamaat MPs have been abstaining from attending parliament session since June last year alleging that the government was not allowing them to speak in the House.
Talking to newsmen, Khandaker Delwar, who replied the previous two letters, said that the reply was expected to be handed to the Speaker today.
Replying to a question, he expressed frustration over the role of the Speaker, saying that he (Speaker) had shunned his responsibility by refraining from touching the BNP's 'five-point precondition 'deliberately'.
He said, 'our contention has already been communicated to the Speaker in the previous two letters'.
Earlier, Badrudozza Chowdhury, Khandaker Delwar Hossain and Abdul Mannan Bhuiyan had a brief meeting with party chairperson Khaleda Zia at 29 Minto Road and 'finalised the reply'.
