BNP protests lease cancellation of KhaledaÂ’s cantt residence
2009-04-10
Leaders of Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) on Thursday warned at a protest rally that the government will be responsible for any untoward situation in the country if it does not cancel the decision of cabinet meeting.

It may be mentioned here that the government has decided on Wednesday at a cabinet meeting that it will request the cantonment board to cancel Khaleda Zia's cantonment residence.
She finally has a reason to cry ...
BNP Secretary General Khandaker Delwar Hossain said, "We do hope that the government will rethink the cabinet decision otherwise it will be responsible for any untoward situation in the country. Do not try to harass Begum Zia mentally or any other way. The people of the country will not accept it," he was speaking at a protest rally organized by BNP in front of Nayapaltan Party office yesterday.

He said the government has started politics with a settled issue avoiding national issues. "The government has failed to run the country within three months. People are vexed with oppressions of AL leaders and activists. We are requesting the government not to interfere with law," he said, adding "that the decision is the outcome of vindictive politics and I feel shame when I thing of that narrow minded decision.

Standing committee member Dr Khandaker Mosharref Hossain said, "The cantonment board handed over the residence to Begum Khaleda Zia in a legal process. The cantonment board can cancel the lease of Khaleda's residence not the government."

He urged the government for withdrawing the illegal decision otherwise the opposition would go for tougher movement.
