BNP MPs' joining JS to be a deception, says Oli

President of Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) Oli Ahmed said on Saturday BNP's elected MPs will be treated as frauds if they join the 11th parliament, reports UNB.
"We've turned down the election. We hope BNP's elected MPs won't deceive and betray the nation by joining parliament. If they go to parliament, we'll think that will be deception with the nation and those who participated in the election and went to jail," he said.
The LPD chief came up with the remarks while speaking at a discussion arranged by Labour Party, one of the components of the BNP-led 20-partry alliance, at the Jatiya Press Club, demanding BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia's release from jail.
BNP's two alliances --Jatiya Oikya Front and the 20-party--joined the December-30 general election, and bagged only eight seats, including BNP's six and Gono Forum's two.
Oli, also the chief coordinator of the 20-party alliance, alleged that the ruling party committed vote robbery in the election. "It was the worst election. Awami League won't be able to remove the stigma of holding such polls."
He called upon Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to take steps for reelection through discussions with political parties to save the country. Or else, he warned, the country will be pushed towards anarchy and bloodshed.
Referring to the PM's call for a national unity, Oli urged Sheikh Hasina to admit the offences they committed in the election, and then engage in talks with political parties for forging the national unity.
"Whether are we working against the country and people? We belong to the nationalist forces and we're the freedom fighters. If our goal is the same, why won't we be able to resolve the country's problem through discussions?" he added.
Claiming that the ruling party men spent thousands of crore taka in the national election, Oli called upon the Anti-Corruption Commission to look into the sources of the money of Awami League leaders.
