Prepare for movement to oust govt: BNP

Senior leaders of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party on Wednesday at a protest rally in Dhaka called on the party leaders and activists to take preparations for taking part in single point movement to oust the government from power.

Dhaka city units of the party held a protest rally in front of the National Press Club as part of the party’s countrywide programme in cities and district towns protesting against the government’s initiative for cancelling the gallantry award of freedom fighter and BNP founder Ziaur Rahman.

Former student leader of Dhaka University Central Students Union vice  president and advisory council member to the party chairperson Amanullah Aman said that the single point demand would be realised to restore the democratic rule in the country.

The Awami League government has destroyed democracy, Election system and leading to introduce single party rule in the country, Aman said.

Aman called on the government to refrain from cancelling the gallantry award of Zia.

BNP central leaders Abdus Salam said that no one has the right to revoke the award of Ziaur Rahman as he achieved that as a valiant freedom fighter.

Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said that the law enforcers would not be able to stop the movement of the people against the government.

Another central leader of BNP, Syed Moazzem Hossain Alal, called on the government to stop the repression against the leaders and activists of opposition parties.

Give a free and fair general election under a neutral government immediately, Alal called on the government.

Chaired by Dhaka City south president Habib Un Nabi Khan Sohel, the rally was addressed, among others, by central leaders Abdus Salam, Shahid Uddin Chowdhury Anne and Kazi Abul Basher.

A huge number of police was deployed at different points of Paltan area.

The police barred BNP leaders and activists from joining the rally, Habib Un Nabi Khan Sohel alleged at the rally.

Except Barishal, protests were held in all other places, said party leaders.

A rally will be held in Barishal on Thursday, they added.
