- Final movement announced in July after Eid-ul-Fitr
- Movement may be disrupted for Monsoon and HSC exams
- This year's movement is also a photocopy of Oikyafront
- One point & outline of the caretaker in this month
- Anger grows at grassroots over high command's foreignness
BNP celebrated 18 Eids after the announcement of the movement after Eid. In 2014, Khaleda Zia had said at an Iftar mahfil that the party would launch an agitation after Eid. If the police force, or the leaders of the ruling party, stop with weapons, it will be retaliated. This time too, ahead of the 12th parliamentary elections, a big movement was announced after the Eid of Fasting and The Eid of Qurbani. The government will be forced to step aside by complying with the caretaker's demand. There will be no elections under this government, nor will there be talks.
The 18th Eid is the last Eid ahead of the 12th election. Now at the end of Eid, the party high command says that the final outline of the movement will be given in July this year. In mid-July, a one-time announcement will be made to topple the government with like-minded parties with BNP. Like the OikyaFront, there are some domestic complications going on with the Ganotantra Forum. Will the movement take place on one platform or on a different platform?
They will be resolved this week. A series of meetings led by Mirza Fakhrul are going on in Gulshan. In addition, the draft outline of the election-time non-partisan caretaker government will be announced by the end of July. It is being built on the pattern of 90 and 96. You're spending the last time figuring out who's going to be there and who's not going to be there. The final draft will be released in the last week of July. Besides, BNP is also busy taking home the fruits of diplomatic activities.
In the eyes of political analysts, there is a big obstacle in BNP's movement this time. The monsoon season is going on amid the announcement of BNP's movement. When there is a little rain in Dhaka, the water accumulates. During this time, there is almost continuous rainfall. It will certainly be difficult to implement strict programmes on the streets on a rainy day. Apart from this, HSC examination will start across the country after the end of the rainy season. A few days later, the Election Commission will announce the schedule for the 12th parliamentary election at the end of October. Dragging the movement up to rain and exam time is considered dangerous for success. However, grassroots leaders say that the 12th parliamentary election is only five months away.
It's time to launch a Dhaka-bound movement and take the flow into home. They have also failed in the movement for khaleda Zia's release. After the defeat of BNP under the banner of Dr. Kamal Hossain's OikyaFront in the last election, the party was left behind for many years. This time too, we have to move forward by removing all the failures and regrets of the past. For this, the party high command will have to announce a program to remove the government. BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has said several times that the government is instigating BNP for the movement, the government wants BNP to burn, but BNP has understood it. So don't go to the burning movement. The one-point movement they are announcing this time does not even have major programmes like strikes or blockades. There are soft programmes like rally sit-ins.
Meanwhile, the BNP high command has become completely foreign-oriented. Some BNP leaders believe that there will be a political settlement through foreigners. On Tuesday, EU Ambassador to Dhaka Charles Whiteley held a meeting with BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir and Jatiya Party Chairman GM Quader. Mirza Fakhrul told reporters, "We have made it clear that fair elections are not possible under this government. A high-level US delegation is scheduled to visit Bangladesh in the second week of this month. In addition, the leading party to monitor the European Union (EU) elections is scheduled to visit next week. Based on the report of this group, the EU will decide to send observers to the next election in Bangladesh. Before their visit.
Many grassroots leaders are expressing anger at BNP for looking at foreigners. Ismail Hossain, a field-level leader of Feni district, said that very few BNP leaders have the strength to tolerate torture on the streets like Quader, Tofail, Amu, Matia, Mojibul Haque, Mohiuddin Alamgir, Maya of Awami League. When it comes to the dream and movement of coming to power, sacrifice, torture, leadership have to be kept in mind, in which case Awami League is well ahead. There is greed and weakness in our BNP leadership. I'm away from saying strategy. Nothing could be done for Khaleda Zia either. Now we are looking at foreigners. This is a failure of the high command. They must be answered to the grassroots.
A teacher of a top institution in Dhaka, who did not want to be named, told the Daily Post that BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia has been imprisoned several times since February 8, 2018, but the party has not been successful in the end. Especially after the humiliating defeat in the 11th parliamentary election held on December 30 that year, BNP tried to turn around but failed for various reasons. BNP has not been able to use any of the hundreds of issues it has received to launch a movement. It's just a matter of finding a solution to the issue without sources to remove the government by announcing it now. Now BNP has a fair chance. If it doesn't work, the team will walk away back in a long run.
The head of a top party of BNP's like-minded alliance told the Daily Post, "The movement that BNP is now taking ahead of the election seems to me to be a photocopy of the Oikyafront. It seems to me that things could be worse than they were in 2018. "
BNP standing committee member Selima Rahman rahman said, "We are holding meetings with like-minded parties. On Wednesday, a meeting was held with the liaison committee of the nationalist like-minded alliance. A meeting was held with the liaison committee of the 12-party alliance yesterday. Meetings will also be held with other parties including Ganotantra Mancha, LDP. After the meeting, a one-point announcement will be made this month. In addition, the outline of the caretaker government is being prepared and will be announced soon. "The movement never comes," he said. The question of when the movement to topple the government will succeed is not right.
