BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam's demand for a neutral government indicates the formation of another 1/11 government, said Information and Broadcasting Advisor Md Nahid Islam.
The advisor made this comment in a status posted on his verified Facebook account on Thursday.
Nahid wrote, “BNP secretary general's demand for a neutral government basically indicates the formation of another 1/11 government. Awami fascism emerged from the 1/11 settlement. The BNP secretary general's statement indicates another 1/11 government ahead, parliamentary majority and continuation of a knee-jerk foreign policy, and there are signs of no justice for the disappearances, murders and July massacres.”
The advisor wrote, “The plan to minus the students and the leadership of the coup has started since August 5. On August 5, when the students and the masses were fighting on the streets, and the police were firing continuously, many of our compromise-seeking national leaders were busy planning to form a new government excluding the people (many even mentioned the students there). We have been saying since August 3 that we will not accept any kind of military rule or emergency. Although we were repeatedly asked to go to the cantonment, we refused to go. Finally, through discussions and bargaining at Bangabhaban, it was decided to form an interim government headed by Dr. Yunus.”
He also wrote, “We wanted a national government consisting of anti-fascist political parties and civil society. If there was a national government, the students might not have needed to come to the government. Considering that the national government would last for a long time, BNP did not agree to a national government. But the need for a national government was greatest in the country after the coup. Yet, the BNP is talking about a national government after the upcoming elections.”
Nahid wrote, “The students are the only factor in this government and the existing reality that completely separates the current government from the 1/11 government. BNP discussed minus two a few days ago, but now it is proposing another 1/11 government in the name of a neutral government to smooth the way to power. Such a plan will go against democracy and national interests and the students and mass people will not accept it in any way. And I think it is a conspiracy against BNP as well.”
