Leader of Opposition Rawshan Ershad has said her party will be withdrawing their ministers from the cabinet very soon.
She made the statement while addressing a press conference at the parliament building in the capital on Monday morning.
She said: “We have decided to withdraw our ministers from the cabinet. We have already talked to the chairman in this regard and decision will be taken very soon.”
Talking about Khaleda's confinement, Rawshan said: “We have heard BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia has been confined at her Gulshan office. The government knows about it better."
Tension has been prevailing across the country due to the political anarchy and confrontation centring the counter programmes declared by Awami League and BNP.
The BNP had declared to observe January 5 as the “democracy killing day” while the Awami League was set to celebrate “victory day of democracy.”
The communication through major road and waterways connecting to Dhaka also came to a halt since Sunday morning.
Meanwhile, the ruling Awami League and its affiliated bodies have gathered at 15 points of the capital to observe the “Victory Day of Democracy” and resist the BNP’s counter programmes.
BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia is being confined inside her Gulshan party office since Saturday night. Four sand-laden trucks have been positioned on either side of Khaleda's office on Sunday night.
However, Monirul Islam, joint commissioner at the DMP and also its spokesperson, told journalists that Khaleda is not confined.
