She urges people to continue movement as ‘victory imminent’

Khaleda
 

BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia on Monday night urged the Election Commission to postpone the schedule announced for the 10th parliamentary election and thus save the country.

 

“I want to tell the Election Commission, save the country by postponing the election schedule and not to be used as a puppet of a particular party by taking initiatives for holding a unilateral farce election,” she said in a statement.

 

The former premier also requested all concerned not to engage in the farcical election process.

 

She also called upon the country’s people who have been affected and repressed for the last five years to continue their movement in a peaceful manner. “People’s justified movement can never fail. Insh’allah our victory is sure and imminent.”

 

About arson attacks, Khaleda Zia said unidentified miscreants are taking the lives of innocent and common people by carrying out heinous attacks. “They’re burning people alive by hurling bombs and torching passenger buses. Elderly people, women and children are being victims of such grievous attacks.”
