No govt in Bangladesh’s history has become so unpopular so fast: Nahid

NCP Convener and Dhaka-11 lawmaker Nahid Islam,
referring to the BNP government, has said no government in Bangladesh’s history
has become “so unpopular in such a short time,” wondering what their fate would
be in the next six months.
He made the remark this afternoon while speaking as a
special guest at a rally in Suhrawardy Udyan, organised by Bangladesh
Jamaat-e-Islami, demanding implementation of the July Charter in line with
the referendum verdict.
“We want the
July Uprising and the martyrs’ families to be respected,” he said, adding that
the party was working both on the streets and in parliament.
He said the July Uprising had created hopes for
change, but alleged that BNP had obstructed reforms from the beginning and
later gave notes of dissent against key proposals at the Consensus Commission.
“The BNP was born through a referendum. But after the
mass uprising, they are now rejecting the referendum. Through this, BNP has
actually started denying its own existence,” he said.
Warning BNP against following Awami League’s path,
Nahid said the public and youth would resist any attempt to undermine reforms.
Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer and Opposition Leader Dr
Shafiqur Rahman, LDP Chairman Col (retd) Oli Ahmad, Bangladesh Khelafat Majlis
Ameer Maulana Mamunul Haque, and other senior leaders of the 11-party alliance
also spoke at the rally.
