BNP no alternative to AL: Ashraf


Awami League General Secretary Syed Ashraful Islam has urged the left-leaning parties to unite as an alternative political power to his party.

”Those of you practicing left politics need to be united to fill the political vacuum in the country,” he told at a programme at the Engineers Institute of Bangladesh in Dhaka on Saturday.” “BNP is no more an alternative to Awami League.”
The senior leader also dubbed Jamaat-e-Islami and Hifazat-e Islam as enemies of Democracy, Awami League and government.
Bangladesh Workers Party President Rashed Khan Menon, Communist Party of Bangladesh (CPB) chief Mujahidul Islam Selim were also present at the programme.
Ashraful further alleged that BNP did not want to face Awami League politically as it has ‘massively failed’ to draw public support.
“It’s dangerous for the country that BNP is patronising Jamaat and Hifazat,” he added.
Responding to BNP’s criticism of the budget, he said,” Earlier, BNP used to take out anti-budget procession, but now the party is discharging its duty by holding press conferences.”
The LGRD Minister was also of the view that people would not accept the Centre for Policy Dialogue (CBD)’s budget analysis.
