Khaleda Zia has welcomed new members into the BNP before calling on them to stand up together against ‘abduction, murder and torture’ by the government.
Lakshmipur Jatiya Party Secretary General Mahmudur Rahman along with some 50 members joined the BNP at Khaleda’s Gulshan office on Sunday evening.“In Lakshmipur and elsewhere in the country the government is using the law-enforcing agencies to abduct, kill and torture opposition activists. The government will have to take responsibility for this,” the chairperson said.
She welcomed the newcomers, telling them to work in unison against the government’s oppression and build up a resistance.
Khaleda attended the reception briefly due to illness and took a bouquet from Rahman.
