| People will never forgive Khaleda for celebrating false birthday: Awami League Leaders Posted: 18 Aug 2011 05:05 AM PDT 
Khaleda Zia does not believe in the country's independence, its constitution and the rule of law; which is why she is out to ruin the judiciary, alleged Awami League Joint General Secretary Mahbub-ul- Alam Hanif. "She believes in conspiracy," said Mahbub on Wednesday. Hanif made the allegation against the opposition leader while speaking as chief guest at a discussion meeting organised by Jatiya Sramik League, an associated body of ruling Awami League, at Mohanagar Natyamancha at Gulistan Square in the city. The discussion was held marking the National Mourning Day commemorating the 36th death anniversary of the father of the nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. In an oblique reference to BNP he said as the party came into being unconstitutionally and through conspiracies its chief would naturally practise the politics of conspiracy. And that is the reason why she wants to throw away the country's constitution. Replying to the proposal of the civil society that the chiefs of the two major political parties should resolve the country's crises through talks sitting across the table Hanif said: "We cannot sit with those who dishonoured three million martyrs and 200,000 mothers and sisters by forging an alliance with razakars." Pointing at the civil society, Hanif said, "You talk much on lot of other issues but keep mum when the whole nation observes the National Mourning Day on August 15 while Khaleda Zia celebrates her birthday the same day." Khaleda Zia wants to ruin the country's judiciary and for this reason pro-BNP lawyers were not ashamed of throwing objects towards the judge of the High Court division on August 2. "In reality, Khaleda Zia has personal grievances against the court as it hanged killers of Bangabandhu, handed down punishment to her sons Tarique and Coco in the money laundering cases and gave verdict on her cantonment residence," the Awami League leader added. Jatiya Sramik League President Abdul Matin Master presided over the discussion while General Secretary Roy Ramesh Chandra conducted it. Awami League organising Secretary Jahangir Kabir Nanak in a meeting organized by Chhatra league Dhaka City Unit told that people of the country would never pardon Khaleda zia for celebrating false birthday. She used several birthdays and born in Birbhum of India. This is truly shameful and she is still conspiring against country expressing her solidarity with killers of Bangabandhu. He also added, if govt found any involvement of Khaleda with 21 august grenade attacks, Khaleda would also be tried. |
