"But the DCs didn't respond to my call during my visits to the districts though I'm the Leader of the Opposition and the former prime minister."
She further added, These betrayers and collaborators who have handed over national interests to India must be driven out of power and we’ll soon announce agitation programmes to that end."
Begum Zia also called for greater unity of the nationalist and patriotic forces to protect, what she said, national independence and sovereignty from the hand of the "puppet government."
Blaming the AL government for 'destroying everything' in the country, she commented. This government can't be kept in power, nor should it be."
Several hundred political workers led by Habiganj district Gano Forum leaders Choudhury Ashraful Bari and Aftabuddin, Sheikh Mohammad Azizui Haq of Jatiyatabadi Awami League and former chairman of BTMC Harmoz All joined the BNP.

Blaming the AL government, for not implementing any of its election pledges, Begum Zia said the ruling party did not tell the people formation of a sub-regional grouping. "If they had the plan In mind, they should have revealed it before the polls."
Denying reported conflict in her party, the BNP chief said, "There is no conflict but a competition for leadership in our party."
