Food Minister Advocate Qamrul Islam yesterday said BNP has adopted ill strategies to delay proceedings of the Zia Orphanage Trust corruption case to create a volatile situation in the country ahead of the national elections, reports BSS.

"In normal procedure, the trial was supposed to be completed two years ago.  But the BNP embarked on evil strategies to prolong the trial so that they could create an unstable environment in the country ahead of the national polls," he said, speaking at a discussion at an auditorium of Dhaka Reporters Unity (DRU) in the capital.

Bangabandhu Academy organised the meeting on the current politics in the country. Awami League Dhaka South City Unit Joint General Secretary MA Kader Khan chaired the meeting. AL Dhaka North City Unit Vice President Nurul Amin Ruhul, AL leader Advocate Boloram Poddar and Bangabandhu Academy Secretary General Humayun Kabir Mizi, among others, addressed the meeting.

Qamrul said BNP has no chance to take part in the election period government as they have no representative in the running parliament.  BNP has no right as well as strength to foil the election, he added.
