 Dhaka, Jan 26 (UNB) - BNP leader Barrister Moudud Ahmed Tuesday disclosed that party chairperson Khaleda Zia will soon announce anti-government movement programmes through consulting all the patriotic political parties of the country.

He made the remark addressing as chief guest a protest rally organized by Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD), the associated student wing of BNP, in front of the BNP central office at Nayapaltan in the afternoon.

JCD organized the demonstration demanding arrest and trial of “Chhatra League cadres” who they alleged attacked JCD president Sultan Salahuddin Tuku on Dhaka University campus and withdrawal of “false” cases against JCD leaders centering the DU incident.

Presided over by JCD senior vice-president Shahidul Islam Babul, the rally was also addressed, among others, by BNP leaders Fazlul Huq Milon, Zainul Abdin Farooque MP, Abul Khair Bhuiyan MP, Khairul Kabir Khokan, Barrister Nasiruddin Osim and Shirin Sultana.

The BNP leaders protested the “naked attack” on JCD president Tuku and blamed BCL for the attack. They also demanded resignation of the DU Vice-chancellor for “not carrying out appropriate responsibility” during the violence on the campus.

Barrister Moudud in his address said, “The present Awami League government has started politics of vendetta like in the past as well as made parliament ineffective disrespecting the opposition.”

He criticized the ruling party’s various activities and attempts, including attempt to evict Khaleda Zia from her Dhaka cantonment residence and erase name of late President Ziaur Rahman, and indecorous remarks about Zia.

Turning to the PM’s recent visit to India and the signing of deals with New Delhi, the former Law Minister said, “The present government does not hesitate to sacrifice the country’s interests and so there is no option but to wage movement against the government.”

He told the JCD leaders and workers that the case filed against them over the recent clash on the Dhaka University campus is not the end--more cases could be filed by the government.

He, however, said all cases would be faced legally.

Urging the JCD leaders and workers to prepare for movement, the BNP Standing Committee member said, “Now is the time to build up resistance against all sorts of repression and injustice being meted out by the government. For this all have to remain united.”
