BNP threatens mass agitation if Latif Siddiqui not removed

The BNP-led 20-party alliance says it will go for a massive agitation after Eid-ul-Azha if the government does not remove Abdul Latif Siddiqui from the Cabinet and Parliament. BNP’s acting Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has said that the government was creating a ‘smokescreen’ to save the posts and telecommunications minister – and insisted that it will not be tolerated. ‘We are not announcing any agitation now due to the Eid and Durga Puja. We want Abdul Latif Siddiqui to be removed from the Cabinet and Parliament. Or else, we will have to start a massive movement for realising our demands after the Eid and Puja,’ he told a briefing by the 20-party alliance in the city on Wednesday afternoon, according to bdnews24.com.
