Bhuiyan for a BNP without divisions

The leader of the BNP's reformist faction Abdul Mannan Bhuiyan Wednesday called for a united BNP that rose above divisions within the party, reports bdnews24.com.
"The BNP has to participate in the next elections as a united party. That's why I still say, no more factions. Let us all be together," he said.
The expelled secretary general of the BNP told reporters at his Gulshan home that his reform plans were not meant to divide the party but to strengthen it.
Bhuiyan said differences over reforms needed not split the party and urged fellow party members to be united. He also said the country would not return to its pre-January 11 situation.
"No-one should do or say anything that could disrupt the unity of the BNP," he said.
He trashed the decision to expel him from the party saying it had been done without the approval of the party forum.
Most of the central leaders and former MPs agree with him, he added.
But he refused to comment on the appointment of Khandaker Delwar Hossain as his replacement.
