Kishoreganj,
July 8 (UNB) – Ruling party general secretary and Local Government
Minister Zillur Rahman said Awami League would again get the chance of
governing the country with people’s mandate.
He
expressed the hope for their reelection to power while addressing a
reception accorded to him at Kuliarchar here today (Saturday).
“BNP
is out to intercept Zila Parishad and Upazila Parishad elections
undemocratically as it doesn’t believe in local-government system
introduced for people’s welfare,” the minister said.
During
their regime, they had dissolved all the local-government bodies,
including Upazila Parishad, Zillur observed. “Even they are not
sincere in protecting women’s reserved seats in Parliament.”
The
Awami League leader alleged the four-party alliance under the
leadership of BNP came to the street to implement their blueprint of
creating public disorder, disrupting development and destroying
democracy.
Addressing
the function Commerce Minister Abdul Jalil said: “While democracy
got firm footing and economic activities expanded, BNP joined the
autocrat and rajakars to create political unrest in the country.”
Presided
over by Upazila AL president M Jahangir Hossain, the function was also
addressed, among others, by Deputy Speaker Adv Abdul Hamid and State
Minister for Public Works and Civil Aviation Syed Ashraful Islam.
