AL wants return of 1/11: BNP

Staff Correspondent
The government was plotting to bring back the 1 /11 by snatching people's rights to vote, BNP Standing Committee Member Tariqul Islam alleged yesterday.
He called upon people to remain alert so that the government does not get the scope for bringing back such state of emergency and create anarchy in the country.
Tariqul said this before launching the 18-party alliance's Black Day procession in front of BNP central office in the capital's Nayapaltan area in the afternoon, apparently countering Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's statement
onThursday.
That day, Hasina had said the opposition was going for anti-government movement to fail democracy, bring back a 1 /11-like situation and save war criminals.
Tariqul yesterday said democratic rights of the people had been violated through the announcement of the state of emergency on January 11, 2007 and subsequent arrests of many politicians.
He claimed that the incumbent prime minister had welcomed the then Fakhruddin-led government. The BNP spokesperson also raised the question of whether the incumbent government had come to power through proper elections.
“We are observing this day to express our disapproval to emergency state, but on the contrary Awami League is doing nothing,” hesaidreasoninghis claim.
Tariqul urged the prime minister to disclose the actual information regarding the stock market scam, corruption in Padma bridge project, Hall-Mark scam and how the government was feeling successful in dealing with Biswajit, Rafiqul and journalist couple Sagar- Runi murders.
"If you [Hasina] fail to do so, you must step down taking the responsibility of the failure,” hesaid.
Finally he called upon the government not to create anarchy in the country and give the next election under an impartial caretaker government.
Meanwhile, thousands of activists and supporters of the 18- party opposition alliance yesterday took part in the black day procession that marched up to Moghbazar through Mouchak.
BNP's key ally Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami participated in the rally with banners demanding release of its leaders being tried at the international crimes tribunals for allegedly committing crimes against humanity during the Liberation War in 1971.
The Jamaat activists distributed among people leaflets containing some content of alleged Skype conversation between the former chairman of Tribunal-1 and an expatri-atelegal expert.
