mand. Meanwhile, the countrymen are aware of the latest developments from the two ladies on Saturday. Khaleda at a public rally in Jamalpur pleaded for a dialogue in order to arrange midterm polls, but Hasina at the UN General Assembly rejected it, saying that her government would not sit with BNP for midterm elections. The country has been ruled by the two leaders for the last 24 years. People are in tensions whether they would experience another round of mayhem created by the BNP-Jamaat-led alliance like the one centring the January 5 polls. BNP and its allies boycotted the general election demanding a neutral administration to oversee it, but Awami League, being in office along with some other parties, contested the polls. Awami League won the polls with an absolute majority and assumed office for the second consecutive term. Since then, BNP has been depending on its foreign friends, especially on America, to realise its demand for midterm polls. But surprisingly, outgoing US ambassador Dan Mozena at a programme on Sunday said BNP’s demand for political talks and fresh polls is an internal issue. Amid BNP’s threat of political actions, AL does not pay any heed to rival programmes, rather it will remain in streets to politically face the opponents. In other developments, Jamaat enforced a countrywide 48-hour hartal on September 18 and 21 in protest against a court verdict on its leader Delwar Hossain Sayedee and BNP called a dawn-to-dusk hartal on September 22, protesting the 16th amendment to the constitution. Against this backdrop, the ruling party thinks the three-day hartal may create a chance for BNP to take to the streets against the government. Keeping the issue in mind, the premier at a joint meeting of the party hinted that the government would not spare anybody for anarchy. “BNP again took to the streets to create unrest in the country.” “Nobody will be spared for creating anarchy. Even, Khaleda Zia may be behind bars for violence,” she told the meeting at Gonobhaban on September 20. AL leaders said BNP has been issuing threats of street movement for the last couple of months, but they [AL] hardly experienced such programmes of BNP. They still believe people will avoid BNP’s movement as it will not be carried out for their sake.
