Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Saturday expressed his party’s opposition to banning any party by the interim government.
“Who are we to ban political parties? It’s the people of the country who will take the decision in this regard,” he said.
He made the remarks as journalists sought his comments about a quarter’s demand for banning Jatiya Party.
The senior leader of the party said plots have been hatched to destabilise the country and put the country’s future in uncertainty.
Earlier, Mirza Fakhrul joined a memorial programme at BRAC Center Inn, marking the second death anniversary of Sabihuddin Ahmed, an ex-adviser of the BNP Chairperson.
He said Sabihuddin Ahmed, as a patriot and a man of nationalist ideals, will always be remembered with respect and love by the people of the country.
Fakhrul also said that Sabihuddin Ahmed, a sports enthusiast, was full of energy.
Finance Advisor Salehiddin Ahmed, BNP Standing Committee Member Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury, Vice Chairman Abdul Awal Mintoo, and Daily Star Editor Mahfuz Anam, among others, spoke at the programme.
