The ruling Awami League has dubbed Opposition Leader Khaleda Zia’s statement “full of lies”.
Party’s senior leader Amir Hossain Amu blamed the BNP of creating unrest in Bangladesh and claimed it had become “detached from the people”.
Amu, a minister in the interim cabinet, held a media briefing at the party chief’s Dhanmondi office on Tuesday evening soon after Khaleda’s press conference was over.
He said the BNP chief had “realised her mistakes”. “I hope she will have an epiphany and she will refrain from acts of sabotage from this realisation.”
Amu also called upon the Opposition Leader to assist the government’s efforts to restore ‘peace’ in Bangladesh.
Khaleda is demonstrating to save the war criminals and not for democracy and the caretaker government, he claimed.
“She had sided with the (suspected) war criminals during her long march. Each of her demonstration aim at shielding the (suspected) war criminals,” alleged Amu.
He criticised Khaleda Zia for not condemning Pakistan’s adopting resolutions on war crimes convict Abdul Quader Molla’s execution.
“Her silence has proved that she works for the war criminals and Pakistan. She wants to turn the country into an ‘ineffective’ state like Pakistan.
“Her attempts to put blame on others for her misdeeds have been exposed,” Amu said.
The minister claimed the BNP had boycotted the Jan 5 elections as its key ally, the Jamaat-e-Islami, cannot take part in it.
He said the government would organise a free and fair polls and wondered why the Opposition was unwilling to take part in the election under the incumbent government.
“There’s no need for a caretaker government since we did not enrol fake voters,” he said referring to enrolment of a large number of false voters in 2006 under then BNP-led government.
“Whether the 10th parliamentary polls are farce or partisan will be known later. An election cannot be farcical if anyone stays away,” he said.
Amu alleged the Opposition was trying to create a ‘constitutional crisis’ through its demonstrations. “But there’s no option to create such a crisis and we won’t let them do that,” he stated.
The minister, however, did not take any questions at the briefing.

Mr. Amu, an uniform bearing stalwart AL activist like Tofael were the same people who advised Sheikh Mujib to form a one party system BKSAL). AL has placed their opportunities before the nations public. Amu cannot lecture the truth train. AL lies as much as BNP. Just getting even at the cost of the common citizens must stop. STOP IT.
Compared with AL, BNP is merely an infant in machination, lying, manipulation and distortion of facts. They are the true and ardent followers of Chanakya Koutilya. BNP has failed to prove itself to be a worthy combatant and look! everything bad AL has been doing is being shifted on the shoulder of BNP with utmost cunning and success. Hats off to AL.
