Transfer power to non-party, neutral admin: Khaleda to govt
Dhaka, Aug 20 (UNB) – Accusing the government of having failed to run the country on all fronts, opposition leader Khaleda Zia on Monday asked the government to hand over power to a non-party and neutral administration for holding a fair election.
“Transfer power to a non-party and neutral administration paving the way for holding a credible election, or else, the consequence for you (govt) will be disastrous,” she said after exchanging Eid greetings with a cross-section of people at the city’s Ladies’ Club.
“The next general election will have to be held ensuring the participation of all major political parties in it,” Khaleda said warning that no force other than people can keep this government in power.
Painting a gloomy picture of the country, the BNP chairperson said people are not safe under this regime as the law and order situation in the country has been on the downslide apart from worsening poverty and growing jobless rate.
Taking a swipe at the government for what she said killing opposition leaders and activists, making them disappeared and filing “false” cases against them, Khaleda asked the government to withdraw the cases.
She said they could be tried under the law of the land if they at all commit any crime, but for that the judiciary has to be fair and independent.
“All we want is justice,” the opposition leader said urging all the political parties and the people from all walks of life to wage a vigorous movement to oust this government.
Asked about the much-talked-about minus-two formula recently re-floated by HM Ershad, Khaleda said, “It’s the people who will decide who will be there in politics.”
Khaleda Zia exchanged Eid greetings with political leaders, diplomats, city elite, teachers and people from the all walks of life from 12.30pm to 1.45pm.
