Advisers to the BNP chairperson, Khaleda Zia, on Saturday suggested bolstering organisational strength for waging a tougher anti-government movement.
The first-ever meeting of the chairperson's advisory council also suggested holding of the advisory council's meeting on a regular basis, according to several advisers who attended the meeting with Khaleda.
'At the meeting, the advisers gave their opinions on different national issues,' an adviser told New Age after the meeting.
The meeting held at Khaleda's Gulshan office spanned about two hours starting at 8:30pm.
The advisers also spoke on how to strengthen the organisation as well as expedite the anti-government movement, meeting sources said.
They suggested that the party should be more vocal against the government policies and decisions in different sectors and on the basis of specific data.
Khaleda Zia discussed with her advisers the party's 'possible course of action' against the backdrop of the 'deepening crisis' in every sector.
'The country is passing through a grave constitutional crisis while the government is playing hide-and-seek over the issue and the BNP chairperson sought opinions from her advisers on the burning issues,' Khaleda's press secretary Maruf Kamal Khan told newsmen after the meeting began.
'It is not clear to the people under which constitution the country is running. Against this backdrop, the chairperson held the meeting with her advisers,' he added.
Several advisers, who attended the meeting, told New Age that socio-economic condition, price spiral, deteriorating law and order, stock plunge and the government's failure in realising Bangladesh's interests from the neighbouring countries were discussed.
The advisers gave their opinions and suggestions on the issues and the chairperson, after reviewing their suggestions, would meet with the party's standing committee members to decide the next course of action, meeting sources said.
Maruf said a meeting of the party's standing committee would take place soon.
All but six members on the advisory council attended the meeting.
Khandaker Mahbubuddin Ahmad, Harun-ar Rashid Khan Munnu, Reaz Rahman, Mosaddak Ali, Ahmed Azam Khan and Iqbal
Hasan Mahmud Tuku did not turn up.
