4-party questions procedure of Hasina's release

Staff Correspondent
The BNP-led four-party alliance yesterday criticised the government and the Awami League (AL) for cutting "backdoor deals" to release AL chief Sheikh Hasina.
Hinting at both the government and the AL, the alliance leaders said they would have to follow the "enlightened path" because such deals will not serve the purpose in the long run.

Delwar Hossain said, "The people know how they |AL] had joined the elections in "86. The people now want to know how she [Hasina] has been released, how the court was arranged at night and how all the cases were resolved so quickly."
"The people understand what sort of election is going to be held in the country as she [Hasina] would join the dialogues after returning from abroad two months later," he added.
Demanding the immediate release of Tarique Rahman and Arafat Rahman Koko -- the two sons of BNP chief Khaleda Zia -Delwar said the two deserve the same opportunity as has been rendered to Hasina. The people hope that the government would prove itself neutral and "1 hope Section 401 of the CrPc (Criminal Procedure Code] will be applied equally to all," he added.
Speaking to journalists from the electronic media only, Delwar asked the government to refrain from interfering with the media. Journalists from the print media were barred from his briefing and they were not let inside the flat.
When the attention of Rizvi Ahmed, acting office secretary of BNP, was drawn on the matter, he expressed his regret for the unpleasant episode.
BNP standing committee members RA Gani and Tanveer Ahmed Siddique, Jamaat Secretary General Ali .Ahsan Muhammad Mojahid, Islami Oikyo Jote leader Abdul Latif Nezami and Mohammad Waqqas and Bangladesh Jatiya Party leader Andalib Rahman Partha and Shamim Al Mamun attended the meeting with Delwar in the chair.
Delwar also said the alliance would observe Free Detainees day on June 17 and Demands day and on Junel9.
According to (he programme, alliance partners will hold protest meetings at their party offices across the country on June 17 and they will hold rallies at their offices on lune 19.
The BNP secretary general said the alliance leaders agreed to endorse the demands raised by Khaleda Zia during her appearance before the court for lifting the emergency within this month and holding the elections by October.
Asked if his party would participate in the dialogues with the government. Delwar said they would not participate in any stage-managed dialogue. "We will participate in the dialogue under the leadership of Khaleda Zia - after she and Nizami are released -- over the issue of holding the elections."
"We will go to dialogues right now if they [Khaleda and Nizami) are released," Delwar added
