<p style="text-align: justify;">The Bangladesh Nationalist Party chairperson, Khaleda Zia, on Saturday alleged that the intelligence agencies were being used to split political parties.
Exchanging views with upazila chairmen and vice-chairmen of Chittagong division at her Gulshan office, she warned the agencies against such activities.
‘I would like to say them, stop such activities…It is not your duty,’ she said, adding, ‘The Awami League will not be in power forever and you would not be spared if you shift the blame to the Awami Legue for the activities after its departure.’
The BNP chief consoled her party activists saying that the BNP was on the right truck. She said the BNP had made right decision boycotting January 5 elections as it did in 1986 elections during Ershad regime.
‘People want to get rid of the government…Strengthen the organisation in your own areas,’ Khaleda asked her party leaders.
She said, ‘The people boycotted the January 5 elections and Awami League leaders were too scared to go to polling stations. You have to create such situation in the future, as they are looting public money and torturing people by killing and abduction.’
Khaleda asked her party men not to be frustrated but to engage in movement and give Awami League a befitting reply for their hostility.
She said, ‘We would wage peaceful movement, but if the movement is creats obstruction by its muscle men and law enforcement agencies, the BNP would reply befittingly’.
Khaleda termed the government illegal and said that elected upazila chairmen and vice-chairmen were now the representative of the people as they were elected. She asked them to help people despite government’s non-cooperation as they were BNP-leaning.
Acting BNP secretary-general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, standing committee members MK Anwar and Rafiqul Islam Mia, vice-chairman Morshed Khan, BNP Chittagong divisional organising secretary Golam Akbar Knadaker, among others, were present. -</p>
