We don’t believe in politics of banning: BNP’s Khairul Kabir

Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) joint secretary general and Narsingdi district unit BNP convener Khairul Kabir Khokon Friday said they do not believe in the politics of banning political parties.

“There is a demand to ban the Awami League; but we don’t want any banning. We don’t believe in the politics of banning. We don’t want to score a goal in an empty field,” said Khairul Kabir Khokon.

He was speaking as the chief guest at a meeting of the party activists in Karimpur union of Narsingdi sadar upazila in the evening.

Khairul Kabir said, “BNP will contest the elections in the coming days, the voting rights will be established. BNP wants all the oppositions to join the elections. People are in their favour, they don’t fear anyone. The party that will get the people’s mandate will go to power in the future. But there will be no such incident where day’s voting would take place at night.”

“BNP is a liberal democratic political party that does not believe in terrorism and vindictiveness. We believe in human rights, in the fundamental rights of the people. BNP is a party of the people, it always comes to power with the people’s mandate,” he stated.

Karimpur union BNP convener Asaduzzaman chaired the programme that was moderated by member secretary Monirul Islam.

District BNP joint convener BG Nawsher, sadar upazila BNP convener Abu Saleh Chowdhury, acting general secretary Md. Iqbal Hossain and district unit president of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal addressed the programme.
