Step up movement to oust govt: Hasina

' Through corruption, plunder, politicisation, violating human rights arbitrarily the alliance government has tarnished the image of the country to the world community' mentioned Sheikh Hasina saying responsibility lies with all patriotic citizens to free the country and its people from the grip of this failed, despotic and corrupt government through stronger movement.

The leader of the opposition said, unified on the issue of caretaker and electoral reform proposals on this day in 1996 the BNP government formed through a voter less poll was compelled to quit in the face of vigorous mass movement, though they bragged to run for the full tenure.

People at that time rejected the election of theft and rigging, said Hasina adding the founder of BNP Ziaur Rahman introduced the vote theft saga, who forcefully grabbed power that was completely unlawful and unconstitutional.

Hasina observed, Zia obtained 99% votes through a mock 'Yes/No' election in 1977.

The chronicle went on while in 1978 keeping Army rule in force Zia brazenly used the administration in presidential election.
