The Bangladesh Nationalist Party chairperson, Khaleda Zia, on Sunday said the government had no right to stay in power as it was failing to lodge protest against killing of innocent Bangladeshis by Indian Border Security Force on the borders.
'The government does not have the courage to lodge protest against regular killing of innocent Bangladeshi nationals along the border. This subservient and worthless government
has no right to cling to power,' she said.
Khaleda, also leader of the opposition in parliament, made the comments when Rasheda Islam, widow of slain advocate Nurul Islam, former organising secretary of Lakshmipur district unit of BNP, met her at her Gulshan office.
AHM Biplab, son Awami League leader Abu Taher, was sentenced to death by a court on charge of killing Nurul Islam. But president Zillur Rahman has remitted the death sentence triggering widespread protests.
Khaleda expressed concern at the presidential clemency to the death row convict and deterioration of law and order.
'People do not want to see this government any more. The government should resign immediately for its failures,' she said.
Khaleda urged the president to reconsider the clemency to the killer. She questioned how the president could demand trial of the killers of his wife Ivy Rahman who was killed in the August 21 grenade attack. 'Would he pardon the killers of his wife,' she asked.
Rasheda demanded execution of the court verdict against the killer of her husband.
The BNP chairperson said there was no rule of law in the country. 'It seems there is no government in the country.'
