BNP declares countrywide protests

Staff Correspondent
Vehemently opposing the government’s decision on cancellation of the allotment of the cantonment residence to BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, main opposition BNP announced a two-day protest programme yesterday night.
BNP and its various front organisations will hold rallies and bring out procession today in the capital and divisional headquarters while the same programme will be observed at district and upazila levels on Saturday.
As part of the today's protest programme, the party will hold a rally at city's Muktangon at 3:00 pm.
The programme came following a meeting of senior party leaders, including standing committee members, vice presidents, joint secretary-generals, party lawmakers and other leaders, at BNP chairperson's Gulshan Office with Khaleda Zia in the chair.
Party office secretary Rizvi Ahmed announced the programme at a press briefing at the office.
"The decision [cancellation of allotment of the house] is nothing but a part of the conspiracy against nationalistic forces, which is a violation of human rights," he said, adding that the cabinet took the decision intentionally.
I Ie said, “BNP and its front organisations will observe the programme to protest the conspiracy emerged to remove a 'helpless woman' from her house which was given after heinous killing of 'incorruptible president' Ziaur Rahman."
Meanwhile, BNP and its other wings brought out instant demonstrations in the city and different divisional and district headquarters yesterday protesting government's decision on cancellation of lease of Khaleda Zia's cantonment residence.
At a protest meeting held in front of party's central office, BNP leaders said the government's decision on the cantonment bungalow is a "political humiliation."
Juba Dal and Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal also brought out processions following the cabinet's decision.
Meanwhile, BNP leaders and activists staged demonstrations in the capital and elsewhere in the country protesting the government decision.
Jamaat-e-Islami, a component of BNP-led four-party alliance, also denounced the decision.
BNP leaders at a rally in front of party's central office at Naya Paltan threatened to go for a tough movement against the government unless it withdraws the decision.
Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) organised the rally where several hundred activists of BNP and its associate organisations chanted slogans against the government.
Mirza Abbas said Zia's name cannot be erased from people's mind by capturing Begum Zia's house.
An elected government cannot take such a conspiratorial decision,he said.
In a sfatfmefffJamaal Chief' Motiur Rahman Nizami said, "The government decision of cancelling the allotment of the cantonment house of the former prime minister is unfair and motivated."
BNP leaders Goyeshwar Chandra Roy, Fazlul Huq Milan, Mohammad Shajahan, Rizvi Ahmed, Shahiduddin Chowdhury, Salahuddin Ahmed, Habibun Nabi Sohel, Nazimuddin Alam and ABM Mosharraf Hossain, JCD President Azizul Bari Helal and General Secretary Shafiul Bari Babu, among others, spoke.
