Ousted BNP man to Khaleda: Quit politics
Dhaka, July 19 (bdnews24.com) Ousted BNP leader Mohammad Akhtaruzzaman thinks it is time for party chairperson Khaleda Zia to quit politics as 'her thinking ability has weakened due to age'.
Addressing a press conference at his residence in the city on Tuesday, Akhtaruzzaman said her two sons Tarique Rahman and Arafat Rahman Coco do not qualify for leading the party as 'they have rotten'.
Pointing his finger to the opposition leader, he said: "Your ability to think has decreased as you are now at an advanced age."
Akhtaruzzaman, who had led the party's move against detention of Khaleda during the army-installed two-year caretaker government, said: "It's time for you to quit politics because of your continuous failure to lead the party."
Asked whom he likes to see as BNP chief, he said: "Tarique and Coco have rotten. They can't do. Leaders will have to be selected from the grass-root level through council."
The former BNP MP from Kishoreganj, however, did not hold the Khaleda sons solely responsible for their being convicted in over a dozen of graft cases.
"Tarique and Coco are not unilaterally responsible for corruption. It was a vested quarter inside BNP that is responsible."
Akhtaruzzaman said: "The standing committee of the party has turned into a committee of sycophants who are of no use to the party."
He went on: "Leaders like [standing committee member] Moudud Ahmed will destroy BNP as he was behind the bars during a BNP term. He will take revenge for this."
Akhtaruzzaman feared that three former inspectors general of police, now in custody in the Aug 21 grenade attack case, would push Khaleda into danger by being approvers in the case.
He advised her to demand release of the former top cops.
He slammed her for her recent comment that she would throw away the constitution amended recently if the party comes to power once again.
The former BNP leader said he would form an 'associate organisation' named 'Trinomul BNP'. "Many BNP leaders are with me," he claimed.
Akhtaruzzaman was drummed out from BNP for three times in 1994, 1995 and 1998 due to his stance against the party on caretaker government system, general strikes and several other issues.
After Khaleda was detained during the military-backed caretaker government in 2007, he formed 'Khaleda Zia Freedom Council'.
Akhtaruzzaman called the press conference to express his views on the opposition party.
