BNP facing split, claims Mahmud

Publicity and publication affairs secretary of Awami League Hasan Mahmud yesterday said a tune of breaking apart has been playing in BNP now and leaders of the party have been contacting leaders of Awami League to save them from cases. “Alongside leading the militants in the country, BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia is involved in international militant activities. BNP can only be saved if the party can be saved from the hands of Khaleda Zia,” he said, reports BSS. Hasan Mahmud said this while speaking at a rally in front of the National Press Club on Topkhana Road in the capital yesterday.BangabandhuSangskritik Jote organised the programme demanding a ban on the politics of Jamaat and punishment to the war criminals.
Commenting that BNP could be saved from extinction politically if it severs relations with Jamaat-e-Islami, Dr Hasan Mahmud said, “The more the relations between BNP and Jamaat would be deepened, their acceptability to people would be lessened.”
Besides, he said BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia would lose her leadership in the party if she doesn’t walk out of the Jamaat-dependent politics. The Awami League leader also advised BNP leaders to start restructuring their party taking lessons from the ruling party.
Hasan Mahmud said, “There are many persons in the allies of her 20-party combine who have directly taken part in the Afghan war and she had regular meetings with them. But, she usually shifts this blame of their involvement in militancy on the shoulders of others.
This sort of her activity is nothing but kidding with the nation.” He said, “There’s no right for the war criminals to pursue politics in any independent country. Ziaur Rahman allowed those who didn’t want the country’s independence to do politics in Bangladesh. But, people of the country do not want their right to pursue politics.”
