Khaleda Zia said on Sunday the
military would not sit idle if the
country plunged into chaos.
Our military works for maintaining
peace abroad. They will not sit idle in
case of any anarchy in the country. They
will duly discharge their duties, the
opposition chief told a rally in Bogra.
Referring to Bangladeshi soldiers leading
role in the UN peace-keeping missions in
many troubled region across the world,
Khaleda said, "If there is no peace in their
own country, the foreigners will say the
army cannot ensure peace in their own
backyard."
Time has come today to think of this,
she said.
Bogra was the worst-hit after a tribunal
dealing with crimes against humanity
involving the War of Independence in
1971 sentenced Jamaat-e-Islami leader
Delwar Hossain Sayedee to death on Feb
28.

On Mar 3, four people died after police
opened fire at rampaging activists of
Jamaat-e-Islami as they had attacked local
Shajahanpur Police Station in Bogra.
Later troops were deployed for a few
hours to guard the police station.
Referring to that incident, Khaleda, the
wife of former military ruler Gen Ziaur
Rahman, praised the soldiers for their
role in ensuring peoples security.
The BNP terms those killings in police
firing genocide by the government. But
the ruling Awami League says along with
Jamaat-e-Islami the main opposition party
is trying to create anarchy in the country.
Jamaat is the key partner in the BNP-led
opposition alliance.
Her statement came on the same day (Mar
24) when former Army chief HM Ershad
had imposed military rule by removing
then BNP government in 1982.
Bangladesh has seen a torrent of direct
military interventions since 1975 and the
2007-8 caretaker government is accused
of the front office for the military.
The BNP Chairperson was travelling to
Bogra and Joypurhat to gather support for
her demand to restore the caretaker
government system to oversee next
elections.
She left Dhaka on Saturday and stayed
overnight in Bogra.
On Sunday morning, she addressed a rally
at Matidali Biman Crossing in Bogra on
the way to Joypurhat. She talked about
militarys role there. Later she left for
Panchbibi of Joypurhat.
