Conspiracies to eliminate BNP won’t successful: Fakhrul

Bangladesh Nationalist Party secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Monday said the attempts the government is taking to eliminate the party will not be successful.
‘We’ll win (against the conspiracies),’ he said while talking to journalists after paying homage at the grave of the party founder, Ziaur Rahman, at Sher-e-Bangla Nagar in Dhaka, marking his 35th death anniversary.
When asked about the cases filed against BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia, he said the government is hatching conspiracies to keep the BNP chief out of politics.
They would return democracy in the country and work for it by taking oath over the ideals of the party founder, Fakhrul said.
Earlier, Khaleda Zia, flanked by party leaders and activists, placed wreaths and said prayers at Zia’s graveside  around 11:30am.
Zia, who was the 7th president of Bangladesh from 1977 to 1981, was born on January 19, 1936 at village Bagbari in Bogra.
Zia, the then president, was assassinated by a group of army officers at Chittagong Circuit House on May 30, 1981.
BNP and different socio-political and cultural organisations have taken elaborate programmes to observe the day.
