Reaffirming that their movement will be a non-violent one, BNP Dhaka city unit convener Mirza Abbas on Tuesday warned the government of dire consequences if it tries to obstruct their programmes.
“Our movement will be non-violent and peaceful. Don’t try to obstruct it. Its consequences will not be good,” he said while addressing a press briefing after a meeting of the city unit BNP at its Nayapaltan office.
The meeting was held in the build-up to the BNP’s rally scheduled to be held at Suhrawardy Udyan on November 8 marking the ‘National Revolution and Solidarity Day’.
Mirza Abbas, also a BNP standing committee member, alleged that the government is importing bullets from Brazil to ‘curb the non-violent movement of the opposition and to kill people’. “We’ll tell the government, please, don’t bring bullets to kill people. The country’s people won’t tolerate it.”
Dismissing the allegation made by Awami League general secretary Syed Ashraful Islam that Ziaur Rahman had links with the killing of four national leaders, the BNP leader said, he resorted to falsehood while making the allegation. “I would like to say unequivocally that Ziaur Rahman had been detained during the killing,” he said.
About the BNP’s Suhrawardy Udyan rally, Abbas said the November 8 rally will break all previous records of gathering turning Dhaka into a human sea.
Presided over by Mirza Abbas, the meeting was attended, among others, by Gayeshar Chandra Roy, Abdul Awal Mintoo, Amanullah Aman, Barkat Ullah Bulu, Habib-un Nabi Khan Sohel.
