Huda slates Khaleda's counsels
Saturday, 20 November 2010
BNP Vice Chairman Nazmul Huda has slammed his party Chairperson's counsels for not seeking to stay a High Court (HC) order regarding the cantonment house, reports bdnews24.com.
"The counsels should have appealed for a stay order on the High Court order when filing a leave to appeal", Mr Huda told the news agency after a press briefing at his residence in the city's Dhanmondi area Friday evening.
He blamed the lack of foresight on the part of Khaleda's lawyers. "They were all waiting for the hearing on November 29. The government has seized that opportunity to do what it needed to."
Slating the hartal decision, the senior BNP leader said, "Calling a general strike on November 14, protesting Khaleda Zia's eviction, was a wrong decision. "It would have been better if that was called after Eid".
"The sympathy that Khaleda Zia had earned faded partially due to the strike just ahead of Eid. The agitation that the government's cruelty had created grew fainter", he added.
Regarding the tough anti-government movement that BNP leaders have hinted at, Mr Huda said, "The demands will include resignation of the election commissioners and demarcation of parliament constituencies."
He claimed that in the last national polls, BNP had been defeated through an evil design that included vote rigging.
