President of Bikalpa Dhara Bangladesh (BDB) AQM Badruddoza Chowdhury yesterday said tensions have been prevailing among the leaders and activists of both Awami League and BNP over the next government to be formed through the next polls, reports UNB. "BNP activists are deeply worried thinking about their future if the ruling party returns to power...some ruling party activists also come to us and say what if BNP returns to power. Is it a good sign for the future of the country?" he questioned. B Chowdhury came up with the remark at an Iftar party arranged by BNP. The BDB chief further said, "The current situation indicates that we may reach a point when there will be violence, people will kill and get killed, assaulted and jailed. But who will stop it? I just give you (politicians) a line of thinking."

B Chowdhury, also a former President, said a force is now crucial which will be able to control both Awami League and BNP. "The country can be saved from a disastrous situation if only such a force can come to power."

In the absence of party chairperson Khaleda Zia, BNP hosted the iftar party in honur of politicians at the city's Ladies Club on the second day of the fasting month of Ramadan.

BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir and party standing committee members received the guests and exchanged pleasantries with them.
