Monday, 20 August 2007
BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia has said the country's people are now in distress due to flood, political repression and the price hike of essentials, reports UNB.
"People are passing through a very difficult time. Political repression, price hike and flood have made the public life miserable. Let's pray to Almighty Allah so that we can overcome the bad time and start political activities," she said in a teleconference held in Quince, New York at 8:00 am (BST) Sunday.
'International Tarique Mukti Andolon', a platform of pro-BNP Bangladeshi expatriates, organised the teleconference.
Urging the people to work together to restore political and democratic environment in the country, Khaleda Zia said democracy was established at the cost of blood of martyrs. "So, independence, sovereignty and democracy of the country cannot be allowed to be destroyed."
She called on the party workers to stand by the country's thousands of flood victims and also asked them to continue their work to free her detained son Tarique Rahman, also the party's senior joint secretary general.
Presided over by Sharafat Hossain Babu, the teleconference was attended by BNP leaders and activists of its London, Canada and USA units.
Two representatives from Amnesty, USA and American Human Rights also spoke in the teleconference.
