Minister: BNP's 27-point outline conflicts with their ideology

BNP needs to make amends for the damage it has done in the last 14 years, the minister says

Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud said that the 27-point outline presented by BNP on Monday conflicts with their own corrupted ideology.

He told this to reporters at his office in the Secretariat on Wednesday afternoon.

The minister said: “BNP needs to make amends for the damage it has done in the last 14 years. Therefore, the 27-point they have given are in conflict with their ideology.”

“Among the 27 points, point no 13 talks about not compromising on corruption. They built Hawa Bhaban through corruption, so talking against corruption doesn't suit them,” he added.

The minister said that the government wants an election with the participation of all parties. “We also want BNP to come to the elections. But whether they will come or not, that is their personal matter.”

On Tuesday, Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (Jasad) termed BNP's 27-point demands as a black deed of legitimating war criminals, killers, radicals, and militants and establishing a political partnership with them behind the curtain of demanding political reform.

The party said this in a statement signed by its President Hasanul Haq Inu and General Secretary Shirin Akhter.

By giving the 27-point followed by 10-point, BNP again proved that their main target is to seize the state power again with the alliance of Jamaat, it said.

Jasad leaders in the statement said in the guise of their demand for a constitutional amendment, BNP wants to scrap the 15th amendment of the constitution making the settled issues of the great Liberation War and historical mass movements unresolved.

They said BNP's demand for both Bangladeshi nationalism and Rainbow Nation indicates its playing of a double standard.
