BNP chairperson''s tough-talking adviser Brig Gen (retd) ASM Hannan Shah warned that a programme for movement would be announced soon for pressing home their demand for release of Khaleda Zia and immediate holding of fair election, reports UNB. "BNP is ready for movement to press home the demands for release of BNP chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia and holding immediate elections," he told newsmen at the district court (Tuesday) during his appearance in a case. To a query, he said the programme would be thrown in consultation with the senior BNP leaders as the party is ready for united movement. About holding any discussion with the Awami League for joint movement, Hannan Shah said it is a "secrete" matter, "but we (BNP) are ready for a simultaneous movement". He also demanded release of both the detained former Prime Ministers-Begum Khaleda Zia and Sheikh Hasina-and their proper treatment. Meanwhile, Advisors of the caretaker government Tuesday contacted both the factions of BNP to sit for information meeting ahead of formal dialogue with the government sometime this month. Education and Commerce Advisor Dr Hossain Zillur made a phone call to BNP''s acting office secretary Rizvi Ahmed Monday night to know about their position about informal consultations before the formal dialogue. He conveyed it to BNP secretary general Khandaker Delwar Hossain who said BNP''s decision would be communicated to the Advisor after getting opinion from detained Chairperson Khaleda Zia. Delwar told reporters that he was not aware of the agenda of the dialogue. He said he cannot give any decision without consulting the matter with BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia. Communications Advisor Ghulam Quader contacted pro-reform faction of BNP''s acting secretary general Maj (retd) Hafiz Uddin Ahmed Tuesday. |
