BNP Chairperson's Adviser and former Chief Whip Zainul Abdin Farroque on Tuesday urged the interim government to remain alert as ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was maintaining contact with the cohorts of Awami League (AL) who were hatching conspiracy against the country.
While speaking at a protest rally in front of the Jatiya Press Club, he said: “Sheikh Hasina and her cohorts especially those who are working in the secretariat are hatching conspiracy against the country.”
Farroque urged the government to publish a ‘white paper’ on those who helped the past Awami League government’s ministers and MPs to flee the country.
He also urged the government to make the officers in charge (OCs) responsible to recover the illegal arms.
Farroque claims the OCs of 460 police stations across the country know where Chhatra League-Jubo League have kept their illegal arms hiding.
He further said that BNP leader Ilias Ali had been disappeared at the directive of Sheikh Hasina.
“The speeches of Sheikh Hasina and her son Sajeeb Wazed Joy were published in the media but the speeches of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia and BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman were not allowed to be published in media during the autocratic regime of Sheikh Hasina”, he added.
Farroque said: “We want election within a logical time as BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman has already said the interim government will have to extend all cooperation so that it can hold a free, fair and neutral election.”
