A new BNP will be formed soon!
2015-01-10
It is to be exactly like the old BNP in every particular, no doubt, though of course completely new.
[Dhaka Tribune] A person named Kamrul Hasan yesterday announced that a new BNP will be formed soon.

Kamrul, who is a completely unknown face in the countrys politics, yesterday made the announcement at presser at the Lakeshore Hotel in the capital. Interestingly, only a selected few journalists from a handful of media houses were invited to the conference.

The BNP led by the loathesome Khaleda Zia
Three-term PM of Bangla, widow of deceased dictator Ziaur Rahman, head of the Bangla Nationalist Party, an apparent magnet for corruption ...
and Tarique Rahman
...the elder son of former President of Bangladesh Ziaur Rahman Bir Uttam, and Khaleda Zia, former Prime Minister of Bangladesh. He is the Senior Vice Chairperson of Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP). His nickname is Pino. There are allegations that Pino took a rakeoff from every foreign investment into the country while Mom was in office...
is illegal. To revive Ziaur Rahmans BNP, here is an initative to form a new BNP,
he said. He also said their formal announcement will come on January 16; on that day, they will also disclose who are with the new BNP.

Assuring that there is no government agency behind them, Hasan claimed that most big shots of the current BNP will join his New BNP. He also said the government's target to turning Bangladesh into a middle-income country by 2041 was funny.

A circulated [sic] was signed by Javed Omar Rabbi, who claimed himself as someone from the crisis moment [also sic] of the party. Around a hundred young men -- wearing lungi and sleepers -- were present at the programme.
