FOURTEEN-PARTY-ALLIANCE-MEETING
BNP-Jamaat alliance is hatching conspiracies to foil election: Nasim
DHAKA, OCT 17, 2018, (BSS) – Awami League Presidium Member and
Spokesperson of 14-party alliance Mohammed Nasim today urged people of the
country not to get confused with the campaign of the BNP-Jamaat alliance
saying they are trying to foil the next general election.
“People of the country will not get confused with their campaign and the
election will be held in due time in line with the constitution of the
country.”
Nasim, also Health and Family Welfare Minister, said this while talking
to journalists at a press briefing after a meeting of 14-party alliance held
at the party president’s political office in Dhanmondi with Jatiya Party’s
(JP) General Secretary Sheikh Shahidul Islam in the chair.
“We want participatory election. The election will be held in due time
according to the constitution headed by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. But
BNP-Jamaat, the proved enemies of democracy, has come to the field to thwart
the upcoming election,” Nasim said.
“The alliance is now demanding seven-point charters, but these demands
are unconstitutional and illogical, so there is no reason to fulfil the
demands,” he said, adding though BNP formed the coalition with high ambition,
now they are hatching conspiracy against the next election.”
“Once Dr Kamal told that the 1/11 government will be able to rule the
country for indefinite period,” Nasim said, adding people of the country had
witnessed the stand of Dr Kamal during the past interim government.
Then Barrister Moinul Hossain advised the then government to file graft
cases against Begum Khaleda Zia, but now he is one of close associates of
BNP. So these types of personality who do not have any ideology will not be
able to confuse people.
Welcoming BNP-Jamaat alliance to participate in the election, he said 14-
party alliance thinks that people will defeat the coalition by giving vote in
favour boat.
Nasim also urged the government to take legal action against Dr Zafrullah
Chowdhury for derogatory comments against Chief of Army Staff Aziz Ahmed.
Replying to a question, Nasim said Election Commissioner is a constitutional
post and Mahbub Talukder has broken his oath by talking to media about what
was happening inside the Election Commission secretariat.
Nasim informed journalists that 14-party alliance will organise a public
rally in Jessore on October 26.
Samyabadi Dal General Secretary Dilip Barua, Bangladesh Jasod’s President
Sharif Nurul Ambia, Communist Kendra’s President Dr. Wajedul Islam Khan,
politburo member of Workers Party Kamrul Ahsan, AL deputy office secretary
Barrister Biplob Barua and Gono Azadi League leader SK Sikdar were present at
the meeting.
