Compromise out of question: Khaleda

Khaleda Zia

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia exchanges views with a section of journalists at the Jatiya Press Club in the capital this evening.

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia today said they will not make any compromise with the “just and logical demand” for holding the next general under a non-party administration.

“There is no option in anyway to compromise with this demand,” she said while exchanging views with a section of journalists at the Jatiya Press Club in the capital.

“To compromise is similar to allowing injustice. Our demand is very much logical,” she said.

“This was not our demand. Rather it was yours. No we are pressing for the same demand.”

She said the objective of her life is working for the wellbeing of the nation and its people. “We are not doing movement for any posts.”

She vowed to continue the movement for the welfare of the countrymen as the responsibility of the opposition and there is no option of compromise to this end.

Khaleda supported the views of journalist leaders who in the meeting called upon the opposition leader to strengthen their movement to compel the “oppressive and undemocratic” government to quit.

She added, “If you and we can remain united, we will be able to establish a true democratic and people’s government in power.”

National Press Club President Kamal Uddin Sabuj, General Secretary Abdal Ahmed, president of Bangladesh Federal Union of Journalists (BFUJ) Ruhul Amin Gazi, Dainik Sangram Editor Abul Asad and Dainik Naya Diganta Editor Alamgir Mohiuddin, among others, were present.
