BNP won\\\'t sit idle: Khaleda

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia has reiterated that her party will take to the streets if the government fails to soon hold a dialogue to organise fresh elections with participation of all political parties. The BNP did not want conflict and unrest in the country, but there was no other way to make the government meet its demands, she said while speaking at a meeting in the city on Saturday. The programme was organised by the Association of Engineers Bangladesh (AEB), held at the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh (IEB). ‘We don’t want to create instability in the country so soon,’ Khaleda said, ‘I’m urging the government again to hold talks and come to an understanding to form a non-partisan administration to oversee the free and fair election with participation from all parties.’ People would not wait indefinitely for such dialogue, she cautioned. ‘If no initiative to hold talks is taken, we will hit the streets with people on our side to push for the demands.’ she added, asking the party leaders and activists to make all-out preparations for the anti-government movement, according to bdnews24.com.
