BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia has asked her party leaders and activists to become active, stating that the party can’t waste any more time when the country is passing through a suffocating phase.
In the statement on the eve of BNP’s 35th founding anniversary Khaleda said, “There is a choking atmosphere in the country. We (BNP) can no longer sit around with our hands folded when the country remains in this state.”
The opposition chief directed all to ‘fully prepare’ for the ongoing campaign to restore caretaker government.
BNP’s 35th founding anniversary will be held on Sep 1. BNP has lined up two-day long programme to mark the day.
The national and party flag will be raised at BNP’s Naya Paltan headquarters at dawn on Sunday. BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia and others will pay tribute to BNP founder Ziaur Rahman at his grave in the morning.
Khaleda Zia greeted BNP’s leaders, activists and supporters on the eve of the party’s 35th founding day saying, “The country’s sovereignty is now at stake. The government is sacrificing the nation’s interests by inking various deals and through its various activities. The country is plagued with mass killings, abductions, murders, extortion, corruption and oppression.”
