BNP is daydreaming to hold Iran supreme leader Khomeini-style revolution to bring back its acting chairperson Tarique Rahman in the country from London, Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader has said.

He said BNP is having a daydream of Khomeini-style revolution to bring fugitive accused Tarique Rahman back to the country from across the Thames River by waging a so-called mass movement.

Quader made the remarks during a press briefing at his official residence in Dhaka on Saturday.

Responding to BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir’s remarks that their party would bring an end to government chaos through the movement, Quader said, “BNP chairperson Begum Zia once said that Chhatra Dal is enough to stop the Opposition. We are noticing an evil attempt to create an ominous situation in the country through BNP secretary general’s remarks.”

They (BNP) are trying to create chaos in the country in the name of mass movement, he added.

Obaidul Quader said a dark shadow of crisis has cast on BNP’s movement because of the development and achievement of Bangabandhu’s daughter Sheikh Hasina.

“Their dream of mass movement is now a nightmare. Is there any benefit in having this nightmare?”

Claiming that there is no response from the people to BNP’s movement, Awami League general secretary said, “The people of the country are so happy with the development and achievements of the Sheikh Hasina government that the BNP has not been able to carry out the movement despite repeated calls in the last 13 years. Even in 13 years when the people did not respond and there is no scope of it in the coming days also.”

The hope of BNP’s mass movement will soon turn into despair, said Obaidul Quader.
