BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has urged the interim government not to make political parties its opponents.
He said this as the chief guest at a discussion organized at the Institute of Engineers (IEB) in the capital on Friday (December 13) afternoon to mark the Martyred Intellectuals Day.
The BNP Secretary General said, we have given them the responsibility to create an environment for a fair election. Especially, we, on behalf of BNP, have supported them from the beginning, we are still supporting them and we are supporting them even at this moment because we want them to complete the work and give the people the opportunity to elect their representatives.
At the same time, he urged the interim government not to make political parties its opponents.
Expressing anger over Advisor Nahid's statement that political parties are working to fail the interim government and demanding its withdrawal, he said, "Yesterday I saw an adviser comment that political parties are working to fail the interim government. I don't know why, in what context, why he did it. I don't know whether he understood the depth of this statement or not. This is a very serious statement. This government is an interim government. We, who have been protesting, have given this government the responsibility so that they can create a fair environment for the elections." Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said, "But when he says this, it is a very serious accusation. I strongly condemn it. I think he should withdraw such a statement. And I want to remind you, please don't make political parties your opponents. Political parties are cooperating with you, it is the responsibility of political parties." If you say there, we are trying to fail....we have said it a thousand times, our chairman has said that if this government fails, it means the people will fail, we will fail.
