Nat’l unity to turn political unity, says Mosharraf

Kabir Humayun: The current efforts of different political parties to forge a national unity for holding a fair election will soon turn into a political unity, BNP senior leader Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain has said. “Country’s people, BNP-led 20-party alliance, Jukta Front under the leadership of Badruddoza Chowdhury and Dr Kamal Hossain and the left-leaning parties’ alliance have got united over the issues of dissolving parliament, holding election under a neutral government, reconstituting the Election Commission and deploying army during the election,” he said.
The BNP leader was speaking at a discussion arranged by Nagorik Odhikar Andolon Forum at the Jatiya Press Club, reports UNB.
“I think the national unity and people’s unity has already been forged. We believe the national unity will soon turn into a political unity and we’ll free the country from the autocratic rule through united efforts,” he continued.
Referring to Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader’s comment that the national unity is not possible without Awami League, the BNP leader said, “It’s absurd that those against whom the unity is forged are now saying to take them with the national unity process.”
Mosharraf, a BNP standing committee member, urged the government to halt the trial until Khaleda recovers from her illness.
