The BNP chairperson, Khaleda Zia, has threatened to bring down the government through movement and hold midterm election under a caretaker government.
The threat of the opposition leader came at a closed door meeting with a group of senior engineers and agriculturists at her Gulshan office at about 8:45pm Sunday as part of her ongoing exchange views with various professional groups.
Sources close to the meeting said Khaleda reiterated her party's stand that existing provision of the caretaker government in the constitution has to be sustained. The unilateral government move for constitution amendment is not acceptable to her party.
She indicated that a tough movement would be launched shortly. She said the ruling Awami League had chosen the course of repression on its political opponents as well as professionals to cling to power.
BNP standing committee member RA Gani and acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir and Sammalitya Peshajibi Parishad convenor Mahmudur Rahman were present at the meeting.
