Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Secretary General Khondoker Delwar Hossain Wednesday said a new office would be set up temporarily so the BNP leaders and workers could meet him easily, reports UNB.
BNP central office at Naya Paltan in the city remains closed following dispute over the two factions led by Delwar and Abdul Mannan Bhuiyan.
Addressing the members of Dhaka City Jubo Dal (North) at his NAM apartment, the BNP secretary general said he has overcome the initial jolt and feels relaxed that the party is now united under the leadership of Khaleda Zia.
On unity of the party, he said they want unity following the examples set by Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman and Khaleda Zia, but the opportunists will not be welcome.
Delwar said if necessary, the BNP will give the call for unity, but those who are not in the party have no right to give any unity call.
"Remain united so it becomes easy to free the detained chairperson", he told the Jubo Dal members.
Delwar expressed concern over the health condition of Arafat Rahman Koko and urged the government to send him abroad for better treatment following the demand of his family or release him.
BNP Joint Secretary General Gayeshwar Chandra Roy alleged that some BNP leaders are pressing for party reforms to hide their own corruption.
Jubo Dal General Secretary and former lawmaker Moazzem Hossain Alal and acting office secretary of BNP Rizvi Ahmed were present.
