BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Monday threatened to create a “tsunami of people” to ensure the fall of the government if their chairperson Khaleda Zia is “unlawfully” convicted in a graft case on February 8.
Speaking at a meeting of BNP’s Dhaka south city unit, he also said the government will not be able to defeat Khaleda by hatching any conspiracy against her.
"Our target is to create a tsunami of people. Now, we'll have to work to generate a strong wave of people...the strong wave like tsunami can be created through uniting people, and no one will be able to resist it by any means," Fakhrul told his party colleagues.
BNP’s Dhaka south city unit arranged its organizational meeting at Nayapaltan's Moulana Bhasani Auditorium ahead of the court verdict in the Zia Orphanage Trust graft case filed against Khaleda, and others.
Fakhrul said the government is trying to keep BNP chairperson away from politics by “unlawfully” convicting her in a “false” case only to clear their obstacle to stay in power.
"The 1/11 regime arrested Khaleda Zia, and kept her in jail for nearly one year. But they were finally forced to release her. Awami League repeatedly tried to destroy BNP, but they couldn't do it. BNP will remain as a stronger party under the leadership of Khaleda Zia," he observed.
The BNP leader said people are with their party and their chairperson as they are working for protecting the country and democracy.
Habib-un-Nabi Khan Sohel, BNP’s Dhaka south city president, also urged BNP leaders and activists to get ready for foiling any type of plot against their chairperson by showing their strength in the streets.
