‘BNP, Jamaat depend on strength of West’

City Desk :
Workers Party of Bangladesh president Rashed Khan Menon on Friday said that the ‘BNP-Jamaat’ politics did not depend on the support of the people of Bangladesh but on the support of the USA and its western allies.

Menon was speaking at a rally organised at Shahbagh by Bangladesh Juba Maitri, the youth front of the Workers Party, a partner of the Awami League led alliance, to mark the death anniversary of party leader Rassel Ahmed Khan killed in gunfire at Purana Paltan on October 28 in 2006, reports media.

Based on the strength of USA and its western alliance, the BNP and Jamaat want their movement to peak on October 28 forcing Awami League government to step down, Menon said.

Workers Party general secretary Fazle Hossain Badsha, Juba Maitri general secretary Tapas Das, central leaders Kaiser Alam, Mukter Hossain Nahid, Monwar Hossain and others spoke at the rally chaired by Bangladesh Juba Maitri president Touhidur Rahman.
