'Govt plotting to put BNP men in jail'

Zainul Abdin Farroque
Dhaka, May 25—BNP has alleged that the government is 'conspiring' to revive cases against 138 party leaders filed during the previous military-backed caretaker government.

"We've come to know that the government has started hatching conspiracy to revive the cases filed against 138 BNP leaders by the Fakhruddin-Moeen Uddin government," party chief whip Zainul Abdin Farroque said on Wednesday.

From a discussion at the National Press Club, he threatened that the conspiracy would not be successful as "millions of party supporters will remain free even if the 138 leaders are put in jail".

Farroque said their demand for mid-term polls would be realised through vigorous movement if the government did not give it willingly.

He also accused the ruling party of making parliament ineffective, where "we're barred to speak".

The opposition leader also criticised the government as well as retired chief justice A B M Khairul Haque for making the judiciary 'partisan'.

The discussion organised by Bangladesh National Awami Party, was chaired by its chairman Jebel Rahman Ghoni. Bangladesh Jatiya Party (BJP-Matin) secretary general Abu Naser Mohammad Rahmatullah also spoke, among others, on the programme.

Dissolve parliament: BNP to president

Zainul Abdin Farroque
 Dhaka, May 22 (bdnews24.com)— The BNP chief whip has urged president Zillur Rahman to give mid-term election by dissolving parliament before the constitution amendment.

"The current parliament is dysfunctional. So, we urge president Zillur Rahman to dissolve it and give fresh polls before amending the constitution," Zainul Abdin Farroque said on Sunday.

He made the demand at a news conference held at the Media Centre of the parliament building hours before the parliament goes into its ninth session at 4pm on Sunday.

He said they had already decided not to go to parliament at the beginning of the session and the final decision would be made after the return of party chief Khaleda Zia from abroad. 

Khaleda, now in the US, is expected to return on May 29.
