Political atmosphere may heat up after Eid

The political arena of the country is likely to be hot after the upcoming Eid-ul-Fitr as the anti-government movement by the country's opposition political parties, opined political analysts.

The main opposition BNP, its main ally Jamaat-e-Islami and right leaning different nationalist and Islamic parties are taking preparation for waging a tougher movement against the Government.

The types of movement programme of the parties may be demonstration, rally and procession in the capital and across the country. A long march towards Sylhet protesting Government silence on Tipaimukh Dam issue and a road march towards Chittagong protesting the transit to India and its use of Chittagong and Mongla ports may also be announced which will make the political bed hot.

The opposition parties likely to announce a hartal (general strike) after Eid-ul-Fitr, sources said.

Some leftist parties may also go in the streets against the government due its recent drive against garments leaders and garment workers and other issues.

BNP has already announced that it will form a massive anti-government movement after Eid. So it is taking preparation by easing its internal quarrel and reorganising the party in the month of Ramzan.

The National Executive Committee (NEC) members of the party at its recent meeting strongly urged the party's policy-makers to launch a tougher movement in presence of party Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia. The Chairperson at the meeting assured of waging a tougher action programme after Eid.

Khelada Zia yesterday (Saturday) at an iftar party in the capital, hosted by like-minded eight political parties, clearly said that a tougher movement against the government would begin after Eid along with the country's nationalist and Islamic forces.

According to the party sources, programmes of movement will be finalised after Khaleda Zia's Saudi Arabia visit. She would leave the country on August 30 for performing Umrah. BNP may launch long march towards Sylhet and road march towards Chittagong after the visit.

BNP Standing Committee member Dr Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain told The New Nation, "Our party leaders and workers are ready to wage anti-government movement. We will prepare the schedule of the movement after return of our Chairperson (Khaleda Zia) from Umrah."

Another Standing Committee member Nazrul Islam Khan told this reporter that the schedule of the programme would not be finalized yet now, but they would finalise the programme soon.

Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, one ally of BNP, is also taking preparation to launch action programme demanding release of its detained top leaders including its Ameer Matiur Rahman Nizami.

The party has already observed a countrywide demonstration programme yesterday (Saturday) despite meeting, rally and procession are banned.

Jamaat Acting Secretary General ATM Azharul Islam at a press conference on Thursday said there was no alternative to movement against the government. The problems of the people must be solved and Jamaat leaders had to be freed through tougher movement, he added.

On the other hand, the initiatives have been taken to strengthen the BNP-led four-party alliance and to expand the alliance for strengthening the anti-Government movement.

As part of strategy to strengthen the alliance, its components already hosted iftar party where Khaleda Zia and other leaders of different like-minded parties joined. Khaleda Zia joined the Jamaat iftar on August 23 and that of Islami Oikkya Jote on August 25.

In this purpose, Khaleda Zia and the alliance leaders yesterday (Saturday) joined an iftar hosted by like-minded eight parties at hotel in the capital where Khaleda indicated of expanding the present four-party alliance.

Khaleda Zia did not join the Armed Forces Division's iftar party rather she joined the iftar party of the eight parties yesterday hosted by Jagpa, NPP, NDP, Bangladesh NAP, NAP Bhasani, Muslim League, Labour Party and Islamic Party.
