BNP terms PM's televised speech extremely fallacious
Saturday, 7 January 2012
BNP Friday termed the prime minister's Thursday's address to the nation 'extremely fallacious' and said it was done to mislead people to cling to power, reports UNB.
The main opposition said the huge defeat of the ruling Awami League-backed mayoral candidate in Comilla City Corporation elections Thursday and the defeat of its candidate Shamim Osman to independent candidate Ivy in Narayanganj City Corporation polls reflected people's 'no confidence' in the government.
BNP acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir made the remarks while addressing a meeting arranged in memory of late Wing Commander (retd) M Hamidullah Khan, a sector commander of Liberation War. Jatiyatabadi Muktijodhha Dal organised the meeting at the Institution of Diploma Engineers auditorium in the afternoon.
Fajhrul said the PM's address to the nation, marking the completion of three years of the Awami League-led Grand Alliance Government, is another 'precedence of falsehood'.
"In her speech, the prime minister mentioned that 10-12 kg rice could be bought at Tk 100. This is absolutely incorrect," Fakhrul said.
He said delivering false speech is the nature of Awami League to divert public attention from key problems and mislead the people to perpetuate its incumbency.
Referring to the PM's remarks that the opposition did not cooperate with her government, the BNP leader said opposition leader Khaleda Zia on the first day in the ninth parliament session extended the hands of cooperation to the government to work together to establish democracy and implement the ruling party's commitments made to people.
But, he said the ruling party did not respond to the good gesture of the opposition. "Instead, the government ignored it and took steps to make sure that BNP does not go to parliament."
He said they (ruling party) made indecent remarks against the 'proclaimer of independence' Ziaur Rahman, freedom fighters and against the politics of BNP.
Chaired by Muktijoddha Dal president M Sohrabuddin, the commemorating meeting was addressed, among others, by BNP leaders Altaf Hossain Chowdhury and Barrister Shahjahan Omar, BNP chairperson's press secretary Maruf Kamal Khan, Ismail Hossain Bengal and Muktijuddha Dal general secretary SM Shafiuzzaman.
