Khaleda asks govt to trace out missing DCC ward councillor
Tuesday, 13 July 2010
BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia Monday asked the government to immediately trace out the missing DCC ward councillor Chowdhury Alam. Otherwise, she warned the government of further agitation, reports UNB.
Khaleda's demand and warning came while talking to the reporters at 6:30 pm during a visit to the residence of Chowdury Alam at Khilgaon Chowdhury Para in the city.
During the visit, the BNP chairperson talked with Alam's wife and other family members and consoled them.
Chowdhury Alam, also BNP national executive committee member, has been missing from the city's Farmgate area since June 25, two days before the BNP sponsored countrywide hartal.
Khaleda said that Chowdhury Alam was known as a popular ward councillor.
She alleged that people of some agencies of the government have picked up Chowdhury Alam. "So, the government will have to find him and return him to his family," she said.
Referring to the missing of Chowdhury Alam for last 17 days, the BNP chairperson said it seems there is no government in the country.
Replying to a question, she said: "The politics of killing, abduction and secret killings have again started during the present Awami League (AL) government like the post-independence AL rule."
Khaleda said the BNP had enforced the June 27 hartal for resolving the multifarious problems the people were facing including that of gas, electricity and water crises, price-hike of essentials and unemployment.
She mentioned various misdeeds of the government and of the ruling party terrorists including extortion, repression on opposition, tender-manipulation and corruption.
"There is still time for the government to stop such misdeeds and anarchy. BNP will extend cooperation to the government if it stops all these," she told the reporters.
The Leader of the Opposition said if the government creates chaos and anarchy not only the opposition but people will be compelled to take to the street.
On parliament, she said the government has made parliament ineffective when the issue-based notices of the opposition are not being accepted in parliament.
