Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) led by former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia has advised Mohammad Yunus, the chief advisor of the country’s interim government, not to have any dispute with the army. Khaleda Zia has warned Yunus that the interim government should not maintain any kind of tension with the Bangladesh Army. This comment of former Bangladesh Prime Minister Khaleda Zia has come on the ongoing legal actions in the civilian tribunal against the military officers, which are being formed due to the growing differences between the interim government and the army in the country.
Khaleda Zia gave warning in emergency meeting of political parties
Khaleda Zia gave this warning during an emergency meeting called by Mohammad Yunus with political parties in Dhaka. Many political organizations like Jamaat-e-Islami, student-led National Citizen Party (NCP) and Communist Party of Bangladesh (CPB) participated in this meeting.
The purpose of the meeting was to resolve the pressure and controversies arising over the government’s decision to prosecute military personnel. In this meeting BNP said that the country should remain in a balanced state. We don’t want to take any risks because we won’t be able to afford it. Along with this, the party stressed the need to maintain unity and stability in the country before the general elections proposed in February next year.
