BNP hopes change in govt in new year

BNP senior leader Khandakar Mosharraf Hossain on Saturday expressed the expectation that a new government will come to power through a fair election in Bangla New Year, reports UNB.

"We want to vow on the first day of New Year that we'll get BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia released from jail and establish a people's government through the election under a nonparty neutral interim government in the new year," he said while addressing a programme at BNP's Nayapaltan central office.

BNP's cultural wing Jatiyatabadi Samajik Sangskritik Sangstha (Jasas) organised the programme to celebrate Pahela Baishakh, the first day of Bangla New Year 1425.

Mosharraf, a BNP standing committee member, said, "Let the new year be the year of victory of truth against falsehood and the year of establishing a government under the leadership of Begum Khaleda Zia."
