12-Party Alliance for stepping up efforts to help flood-hit people


The BNP-led 12-Party Alliance called for intensifying the ongoing relief efforts for helping the flood-affected people in the country. It also requested the countrymen to stand beside the flood victims with their all means.
The Alliance made the appeal at a press briefing after a meeting between the BNP liaison committee members and the 12-Party leaders in the BNP chairperson's political office at Gulshan in the capital on Sunday.
BNP Standing Committee Member Nazrul Islam Khan at the press briefing said the meeting condoled the deaths of students, children and people, who sacrificed their lives during the recent movement against Sheikh Hasina.
He called upon the countrymen to remain vigil so that none could destabilise the country after the victory, and urged all to resist those trying to vandalise the state properties and create insecurity.
The BNP leader also requested all to help the flood-affected people with their all means.
Chairman of Jatiya Party (Zafar) Mostafa Jamal Haider said the country is now witnessing a different situation that has never been seen in the history of Bangladesh. BNP Standing Committee Member Selima Rahman was present.
BNP also formed an eight-member relief committee to help assist the flood-affected people in the country.
The party disclosed the information through a circular, signed by its Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Saturday.
The circular said the committee would receive dry foods, clothes, candles, fire boxes, drinking water bottles and essential medicines from the people at the BNP headquarters at Naya Paltan in the capital. The items would be distributed later among the flood-affected people in the country's eastern districts like Cumilla, Feni, Noakhali, Laximpur and Brahmanbaria.
