‘We have served the ultimatum of 36 days till the entire month of October. We will not allow BNP to stand on the streets during those 36 days. All the streets will be taken over by the soldiers of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman,’ said Quader in his chief guest’s address at a ‘development and peace rally’ held in the Safiuddin Sarker Academy and College field at Tongi in Gazipur.
The rally was organsied by AL Gazipur district unit as part of the ruling camp’s series programmes announced in a counter move following a 48-hour ultimatum to the government from the BNP to release party chairperson Khaleda Zia and allow her to go abroad for advanced medical treatment.
He said that Sheikh Hasina could not be ousted through a disorganised alliance.
