BNP Standing Committee Member Mirza Abbas has said the country’s independence and sovereignty are not safe in the hands of the interim government, claiming that Bangladesh’s territorial integrity is now under threat.
Speaking as the chief guest at the launch of the BNP’s Comilla divisional organizational membership form distribution and renewal program held at the Comilla Shilpakala Academy on Thursday afternoon, he demanded that decisions regarding any corridor be made by an elected government.
“The decision to give a corridor must come from an elected government — you are in no position to make such decisions,” he said, referring to the interim government.
He added: “The government must clarify its stance on the Sajek and Saint Martin corridors.”
Mirza Abbas also said: “The BNP is not involved in extortion or forceful occupation now; it is the associates of this government who are involved in extortion.”
“The BNP’s good days have not yet returned. Previously, the Awami League was our only opponent; now BNP has many enemies. Our leader Tarique Rahman still has not returned to the country — he has not been able to,” he added.
