Gayeshwar for one-point movement to oust AL govt

BNP senior leader Gayeshwar Chandra Roy on Friday threatened that their party is thinking of launching a one-point movement to oust the government, reports UNB.

"I think it's better not to talk about the election. All we need now is a one-point movement to ensure the fall of Sheikh Hasina and her government," he said.

Gayeshwar, a BNP standing committee member, came up with the remarks at a discussion meeting arranged by Jatiyatabadi Projonmo Dal at Dhaka Reporters Unity.

He said the current government is the main barrier to resolving the problems the country and its people are facing now. "If we can force this regime to quit, it will pave the way for resolving all the problems of the people. So, we need a one-point movement."

About the reconstitution of the Election Commission (EC), he said the Commission will not function if this government stays in power, no matter with whom it is formed.

"If the EC is constituted with five angels keeping a devil in government, then the angels will become helpless, and they won't be able to do anything. So, we need not spend time by joining the debate over the formation of the EC," Gayeshwar observed.

He warned Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina that the consequences of staying power 'by force' will be dire if there is no safe exit route.
