BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has alleged that vicious efforts are on to banish Khaleda Zia and Tarique Rahman from BNP.
He came up with the comment at the party office in the capital on Sunday.
He said that BNP scrapped section 7 from its constitution, but we got information from reliable sources that efforts are underway to incorporate a similar section to Representation of the People Order (RPO) by the Election Commission (EC).
We have taken a clear stance against corruption by adding a new provision to the constitution that says ‘I will never favour corruption’, the BNP leader also said.
He named some of ruling party leaders who are cabinet members even after convicted by the court.
The senior BNP leader also condemned the prime minister’s comment on Jul 11 regarding section 7 of BNP constitution.
He termed it as politically motivated one.
