Thakurgaon Correspondent: Dhaka, Sept-06,
BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Monday urged Gonoshasthaya Kendra founder Dr Zafrullah Chowdhury to refrain from making unguarded and confusing remarks over their party and its leadership.
“He (Zafrullah) is a very revered and wise man. But as he has become
older, he makes some reckless comments. His remarks on the process of
appointing Tarique Rahman as the acting chairman of BNP is not logical,” he
said.
Talking to reporters at his residence here, the BNP leader said
Zafrullah has long been raising voice against fascism. ”But he never thought
that such comments (against BNP) can disrupt the anti-fascist movement.”
"I would like to request him (Zafrullah) not to make such remarks
that confuse people. Tarique Rahman is organising our party. The whole party is
united under his leadership,” Fakhrul said.
Earlier at a programme at the Jatiya Press Club in the capital on Sept
2, Zafrullah criticised BNP for what he said making Tarique the BNP acting
chairman violating its constitution.
Protesting Zafrullah’s remark, Fakhrul said Tarique was made the BNP
acting chairman maintaining the party charter. “Tarique was the party's senior
joint secretary general and then senior vice chairman. He has gradually come to
this position. He’s been successfully organising the party from abroad.”
He hoped that BNP will soon be able to launch a movement reorganising
the party’s rank and file under its current acting chairman. “We’ll able to
remove the fascist Awami League government and establish a pro-people one
through that movement.”
The BNP leader said people have lost their confidence in the entire
election system. “We’ve seen its
reflection in the previous parliamentary elections. The government has
destroyed the election system, the first pillar of democracy, and usurped power
illegally.”
He slammed Chief Election Commissioner KM Nurul Huda for his subservient
role in running the Commission, saying he always becomes ready to fulfill the
hopes and aspirations.
