Khaleda vows to wage oust-govt movement

Denouncing the government for what she said capturing upazila (UZ) polling centres, BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia has said the party will definitely take to the streets in due time to unset the regime. “We’ll surely take to the streets no matter how much obstacles the government creates and how many bullets it shoots. We’ll be there on the streets in due time, and they won’t be able to resist us,” Khaleda said while the newly elected leaders of Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) met her at her office at Gulshan in the city on Saturday night. The new SCBA leaders, led by its president advocate Khandaker Mahbub Uddin Ahmed and its secretary Barrister Mahbub Uddin Khokan, met the BNP chief following their victory in the March 12-13 SCBA polls. They greeted Khaleda presenting a bouquet. Addressing the function, Khaleda alleged the current ‘weak and illegal regime’ does not allow the opposition to hold their democratic programmes and carry out peaceful movement as it does not believe in democracy. The BNP chief claimed that had the upazila polls been free and fair Awami League would have faced such a debacle that they would not have been able to show their faces, according to UNB.
