Grand alliance govt has faced grand failure: Khaleda


Newly elected president of Dhaka Lawyers Association Sanaullah Mia presents a bouquet to BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia at her Gulshan office on Wednesday.

Leader of the opposition and BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia has said that the grand alliance government has faced grand failure and as a result the country is passing through a difficult time. "The government could not fulfill even a single electoral pledges it had made to the people" she said.Begum Zia made the remarks while addressing the newly elected pro-BNP office bearers of Dhaka Zila Bar Association who met her at her Gulshan office on Wednesday evening under the leadership of Sanaullah Mia.The opposition leader blasted the government for its utter failures to resolve the burning problems of the people and said they have increased the power tariff again at a time when the citizens are suffering bitterly from power, water and gas crises besides rising cost of living due to unchecked price spiral. She said, the government is responsible for price hike and deterioration of law and order situation. She further said that there are thieves among the government party MPs and leaders and that the country will face disaster if the stealing continue unchecked. This government is a party government and autocratic in nature, so it is working for the party and not for the people."It is the prime duty of the government to ensure local and foreign investment and generate employment. But instead of doing that the government is engaged as politicization, terminating employees and making officials OSD. Over 400 people including army and police officers have been made OSD. The government is leading the country on the road to BAKSAL system", she added.She also alleged that the government is politicising the judiciary and there is no rule of law in the country."We have no other option but to go for movement with a view to establishing true democracy and rule of law" she said and expressed the hope that the people will be with BNP in its struggle for their causes.UNB adds: Opposition leader Khaleda Zia accused the government of politicizing the judiciary where the judges feel disappointed in administering justice, resulting in what she said lawlessness."There is nothing called the rule of law in the country. The behavior of the Attorney-General is unfortunate. The judges feel frustrated," she said Khaleda alleged that the government has been installed in power by external forces to serve their interests. "The only way to salvage the country from this repressive regime is launch a united movement," she told the lawyer-leaders.
