Claiming that people are eagerly waiting to give the ruling party a befitting reply, BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir yesterday said Awami League will not get more than 30 seats in the next general election if it is held under a neutral administration, reports UNB.
“Awami League has lost earth beneath its feet as it’s got totally isolated from people. The party knows it very well that it won’t be able to get more than 30 seats in the election if it is held under a non-party or supportive government,” he said.
Talking to reporters after attending a programme at Dhakeshwari Temple, Fakhrul further said, “People are now waiting for a neutral election to give a befitting reply to the arrogance and misrule of the government.”
Bangladesh Hindu-Buddha-Christian Kalyan Front arranged the prayer meeting, marking BNP founder Ziaur Rahman’s 36th death anniversary.
Referring to Awami League general secretary Obaidul Quader’s comment that their party will get a hat-trick victory in the next polls, Fakhrul said, “It’s nothing, but political rhetoric. They won’t be able to fool people by rhetoric.”
He urged the government to arrange the election under a non-party government to ensure the participation of all parties in it. “If the election is held under an impartial administration, the ruling party will be able to know its actual position among people.”
Speaking at the prayer meeting, Fakhrul said their party founder Ziaur Rahman was a non-communal person who believed in the rights of people to practise their respective religions freely. “BNP has also been following Ziaur Rahman’s ideology.”
He said BNP does not believe in communalism. “We’re committed to rooting out it from the country.”
The BNP leader said the people of no religion and their assets are safe now in the country as the government has annihilated the rule of law, democracy and people’s all rights.
He called upon all to get united to restore people’s rights democracy.
