Govt failed to handle BDR massacre; CG rulers should be tried

Staff Correspondent
Leader of the Opposition Khaleda Zia yesterday in parliament asked the government not to behave in ways which push the opposition to take tough decisions'.
Saying that the Awami League-led government failed to tackle the BDR massacre in Pilkhana. Khaleda raised
questions on whether Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina should continue to hold the portfolio of the defence ministry.
Taking part in the discussion on a thanks giving motion on former president lajuddin Ahmed's speech, Khaleda demanded trial of the members of Fakhruddin Ahmed-led caretaker government for their misdeeds' in the last two years.
Strongly criticising Fakhruddin government. Khaleda said 'engaging the forces of BDR in controlling commodity prices was a mockery, which resulted in the recent mayhem in the border security force headquarters'. Appearing in the JS after a long break, the opposition leader said. ’’With a limited number of lawmakers, we are trying to make parliament functional and uphold multiparty democracy, therefore we are continuing to extend our cooperation to the government,"
"I don't know how much longer we will be able to keep continuing our efforts, as the treasury bench lawmakers are hurling epithets in foul languages at the opposition lawmakers," Khaleda said during her one-hour and forty minutes speech.
"It s not possible for any decent person to perform his or her dudes, if the situation continues to remain the same.' the BNP chief said adding, "It seems they [treasury bench) want an opposition free House."
"I urge the government, so we are not forced to take any tough decision," added the leader of the opposition.
The opposition leader said Fakhruddin Ahmed-led caretaker government presided over a barbaric rule for two years, besmirched politicians, and labelled them as bad persons'.
"The caretaker government which had no public mandate should be tried for raving the country a bad name,” Khaleda said.
Without mentioning anyone's name, the opposition leader said it is clear who is linked with the BDR mutineers'.
Khaleda Zia blasted Army chief General Moeen U Ahmed for not taking any initiative to save his officers in the BDR headquarters during the massacre'.
The BNP chief said the December 29, 2008 general election pushed the country into a deeper crisis, as the desire of the public turned into disappointments within three months of the election.
The opposition chief said the armed forces were not behind the evil deeds and the injustices committed during the immediate past caretaker government', whom the BNP chief blamed for 'destroying the country'.
"The border security' force BDR was engaged in businesses and shopping in a bid to control prices of essentials." Khaleda said.
Recently we observed with pain the long-term serious bad effect that mockery- had on the force," Khaleda said.
The _BiNP__cbiff JuarsUiy ^ criticised former president [ajuddin Ahmed, accusing him of violating the country's constitution by postponing the January 22, 2007 election, and by appointing Fakhruddin Ahmed as the chief of the immediate past caretaker government.
She also accused lajuddin, who was appointed as the president by the last BNP-led government, of not keeping his presidential oath.
"He should have resigned, if he had foaled to perform his duty." Khaleda said.
Khaleda urged die House not to pass any thanks giving motion on the former president’s speech.
