Staff Correspondent: BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said the party`s programme regarding the relocation of Rampal coal-fired power plant depends on the government’s response.

 

He said, “We will wait to see how the government acts to meet our demand. Then, we will decide whether to launch the demonstration.”

 

He was talking to journalists after placing wreaths at the grave of the party’s founder Ziaur Rahman at Sher-e-Bangla Nagar in Dhaka on Thursday.

 

Flanked with the party’s leaders and activists, Fakhrul went there to observe the founding anniversary of Jatiyatabadi Muktijoddha Dal, a pro-BNP platform of freedom fighters.

 

In his brief statement, Fakhrul also said BNP supports left leaning organisations’ movements on Rampal power plant.

 

The party Chairperson Khaleda Zia has placed the demands for scrapping the power plant at Rampal considering its dire consequences on the Sundarbans.
