CHAPAINAWABGANJ, Oct 19:- Opposition leader Khaleda Zia on Wednesday called upon the people to join the next tough anti-government movement to be waged to oust this 'repressive' government. She made the call while addressing a huge public meeting at Chapainawabganj Government College ground at 5:15 pm, marking the end of the two-day Dhaka-Chapainawabganj road march of the BNP-led four-party alliance, report agencies. The BNP chairperson launched the caravan from capital Dhaka on Tuesday morning and it reached Chapainawabganj after touching Gazipur, Tangail, Sirajganj, Bogra and Naogaon districts. Addressing the rally, Khaleda alleged that Awami League government has signed secret deals with India as they (Awami League) are 'anti-liberation elements'. "Their trial should be held first." She criticised the government for keeping Mufti Fazlul Huq Aminee, Ameer of Islami Okiya Jote (IOJ), a component of the four-party alliance, under 'house arrest'. Khaleda also swiped at the ruling party for arresting other leaders of BNP and its allies, including Salahuddin Quader Chowdhury, MP, of BNP, Matiur Rahman Nizami, Delwar Hossain Saydee and Quader Mollah of Jamaat-e-Islami branding them anti-liberation elements. She said: "It's the people who had fought the battle for the country's independence and sovereignty, but now the country's economic, defence and foreign policies are controlled by foreigners. Where's the country's independence now?" The BNP chief said people did not liberate the country from Pakistan to be the subservient of India. "It's heard that garment industries have been sold out to foreigners." Khaleda said the government wants to turn the country into a subservient state putting people in shackle. "There'll be another war, if necessary, to break the shackle."
