Threats of 'Ek Dofa' won't work against today's BNP: Annee
Water Resources Minister Shahiduddin Chowdhury Anee on Saturday warned opposition parties against threatening the BNP with a one-point movement, asserting that today's BNP is a political party born from 17 years of street struggles.
Addressing a pre-rally gathering marking the BNP’s 48th founding anniversary, Annie criticized the opposition’s relentless protests over the past six months. He equated the NCP with Jamaat-e-Islami, stating their long march speeches mirror fascist rhetoric.
"Everyone desires a beautiful Bangladesh. We successfully held elections, yet they launched protests heading toward a one-point movement," Annie said.
He added that resolving utility crises within six months is impossible, noting that public suffering over gas and electricity shortages could have been resolved faster if the interim government had taken charge of the work. He claimed the public rejected the long march due to low participation, reports UNB.
The rally paraded from Adarsha Samad Mor to Lillah Jame Masjid field, attended by District BNP Joint Convener Advocate Hasibur Rahman and Member Secretary Sahab Uddin Sabu.
