BNP chairperson and leader of the opposition Khaleda Zia on Tuesday said, peace will not be restored in the country until the Awami League-led grand alliance government quits office.
“The country is going through a critical time and to come out of it, the country should be freed from the clutches of this corrupt and tyrannical government. Pray to the almighty, so the government resigns,” she said before an iftar party organised by its ally Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) at an auditorium in the capital.
She said the people of the country will get rid of repression and suppression only after the resignation of the government.
The opposition leader said: “We will ensure the peace and security of the country and its people, when we assume office. We will drive out corruption and terrorism from the country and will transform the country into a model state in front of the world.”
LDP President Oli Ahmed and General Secretary Redwan Ahed also spoke before the iftar party while Khaleda exchanged greetings with the guests.
A doa (prayer) was offered before the iftar seeking peace and prosperity of the country and its people.
BNP leaders Moudud Ahmed, JamiruddinSircar, Nazrul Islam Khan, Abdul Moyeen Khan, Abdullah Al-Noman, Altaf Hossain, Selima Rahman and others attended the iftar party.
