Publish deals with India or face hartal: Goyeshwar

The Bangladesh Nationalist Party has asked the government to make public in advance the agreements to be signed with India; otherwise it will be forced to call 'hartal' during the Indian prime minister's visit to Bangladesh next month.

BNP's outspoken leader Goyeshwar Chandra Roy

issued the caution while addressing a human chain in the capital Saturday.

Muktijuddher Prajanmo organised the human chain in front of the National Press Club to protest at the recent filing of case against the BNP chairperson, Khaleda Zia, by the Anti-Corruption Commission.

The human chain was also formed to protest at the warrant of arrest against BNP senior vice-chairman Tarique Rahman in a money laundering case.

BNP standing committee member Goyeshwar said if the agreements with India were not published, they might be forced to call hartal on those days the Indian prime minister will be staying in Bangladesh as he said people had the rights to 'accept or reject the secret deals.'

Addressing another human chain on same issue at the same venue Saturday BNP standing committee member Nazrul Islam Khan said the ruling party was busy to protect its chair instead of protecting the interest of people.

He alleged the ruling party wanted to reintroduce one-party BAKSAL rule by 'politicising administration and polluting the election process'.

Khaleda-Tarique Rahman Mukti Parishad organised the human chain.
