Hafiz urges Delwar to sit for unity talks soon
Sunday, 6 July 2008
Reformist BNP leader Maj (retd) Hafiz Uddin Ahmed Saturday urged Secretary General Khandaker Delwar Hossain to immediately sit for unity talks formally or informally to remove misunderstanding within the party, reports UNB.
"We belong to the same party. We've some misunderstanding amongst us. A single sitting formally or informally could put an end to all the misunderstanding. Any hurdles on the way to unity will be removed," he told media personnel at his Banani house.
Hafiz, however, cautioned that the immediate-past ruling party, already troubled by wrangling, would get into a difficult situation if the party could not be united. "Disunity at this critical time will not be good for anybody," he said.
In reply to a question about the alleged government-Awami League camaraderie, he said despite the reported entente, a united BNP would win the elections. "BNP is a popular party and a united BNP is able to frustrate any conspiracy."
Hafiz thought that the four-party alliance should make more contacts with the people and take part in the local-body elections.
He said BNP would have become stronger at grassroots level if the party had joined the local elections.
