The arrest warrant against Khaleda Zia would be unable to restrain an uprising while the move only proved the illegal government’s bankruptcy, the BNP said yesterday.
Hinting at a Dhaka court’s decision to uphold the arrest warrant against the BNP chairperson in two graft cases, the party’s Joint Secretary General Salahuddin Ahmed said: “It is nothing but a bankruptcy of the ruling party to stop people’s spontaneous movement by issuing arrest warrant.”
In a press release, Salahuddin called upon the PM to step down from her office accepting people’s demand and also to assist in restoring real democratic ruling system in the country.
“Otherwise a brutal fate has to be accepted like the history’s hated autocrats,” he warned.
