Quraishi asks party workers to elect 1/11 backers
Sunday, 29 June 2008
Progressive Democratic Party (PDP) chief Ferdous Ahmad Quraishi Saturday asked party workers to elect 'honest people' from those who had supported the 1/11 changeover, reports bdnews24.com.
"Those who supported 1/11 will be the 'stars' of our party," Ferdous Ahmad Quarishi stated this while speaking at the party's first national convention at the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh auditorium in the city Saturday.
Quraishi asked the caretaker government and the army to press ahead with building a corruption-free country and not to give in to 'corrupt people'.
"The caretaker government and the army have public backings," he claimed.
"We don't want to give the country back to the parties who looted people's property."
Pointing an accusing finger at the country's two big political parties, Quraishi said: "They had established dynasties in the country and looted public property. Their dynasties changed into virtual monarchy. The 1/11 rescued the country from the 'monarchic rule."
"We want honest and good leaders. We have to alert people against those who want a return of pre-1/11 days. If they are voted back to power, they will make the fate of the country uncertain," he added.
Quraishi thanked the army for its 'role in rescuing the country'.
He said his party would work to translate the spirits of 1/11 into reality by electing 'honest and efficient' leaders from the grassroots level.
Two big parties- Awami League and BNP- alternated in power but failed to establish good governance, Quraishi alleged.
