Thursday, 25 November 2010
BNP Secretary General Khandaker Delwar Hossain cautioned the government Wednesday against obstructing their peaceful weeklong programme and said people would face any provocations, reports UNB.
The programme includes rallies, processions and countrywide dawn-to-dusk hartal on November 30. Rallies and processions at district, upazila and thana levels will start today (Thursday) protesting against government's misdeeds, failures, undemocratic attitude and harassment of political opponents.
Leader of BNP and its front organisations had a meeting at the party central office that discussed preparations for the countrywide hartal.
Talking to reporters after the meeting Mr Delwar warned that consequences of obstruction to the peaceful programmes would not be good.
He alleged the government was making all out attempts to foil the peaceful programmes.
Police cordoned off the BNP office in Pirojpur while the ruling party cadres set the party office on fire in Shariatpur without any provocation. The BNP leader asked the government to shun such activities.
Referring to a weekly report, Mr Delwar said after Awami League assumed state power 462 people were killed by the government's repression while 69 others killed in internal conflicts of the ruling party.
BNP leaders Altaf Hossain Chowdhury, Shah Moazzem Hossain and Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, among others, were present at the meeting.
