BNP senior leader Mirza Abbas has alleged that a “new Minus-Two Formula” is being revived at the behest of domestic and foreign quarters to remove BNP from politics and render Bangladesh politically leaderless.
“After the fall of Awami League, attempts are underway to eliminate BNP from the political arena as well. Some pro-Awami bureaucrats are again becoming active, thinking they will benefit personally if BNP is sidelined,” Abbas said.
He accused some Islamist groups and political forces of raising disruptive demands to block the path of the February elections. “One party has even declared that elections will not be allowed until their demands are met. They are behaving like fascists,” he added.
Abbas also warned of “sinister conspiracies” centering on Saint Martin’s Island, Sajek in Khagrachari, and the New Mooring Container Terminal, which he said threaten Bangladesh’s sovereignty and national interests.
On the issue of Islamist alliances, Abbas said: “BNP is not worried. The people of Bangladesh are moderate Muslims; they prefer democratic and centrist parties, not sectarianism.”
