‘No polls if Khaleda jailed in false case’

Senior Correspondent: BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir warned the government that no election will be held in the country if party chief Khaleda Zia is jailed in any false case.

The BNP leader made the warning while addressing a programme at the Sagar-Runi auditorium of Dhaka Reporters’ Unity in the capital on Wednesday afternoon.

Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said, “The countrymen will not participate in any election if Khaleda Zia is convicted in any false case.”

If Khaleda Zia is jailed in any false case, no election will be held in the country. People won’t accept this election. No patriotic party can participate in the election, Fakhrul said.

He said, “We want to participate in the election. But there will be level playing field in that election. The election must be participatory and acceptable to all parties.”

Fakhrul also came down on Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina heavily for her bitter criticism against Nobel Laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus and said the entire world is showing honour to him (Yunus).

“But, you (Hasina) have personally identified Muhammad Yunus as enemy as because people say you (PM) deserve the Nobel Peace Prize,” he said.
