Ahmed, who formed a separate Jatiya Party faction following his expulsion from the HM Ershad-led party, said: “The Opposition’s demand was postponement of the elections which are one-sided. That has not been met.”
He observed that any effort for compromise turned meaningless if the election process continued ‘this way’.
“I think UN Secretary General’s emissary Taranco’s mission failed because of government’s stubbornness.”
The veteran politician said the nation had plunged into dark after the failure of the UN mission.
He said a special council of the Jatiya Party led by him would be held on Dec 20 and he went to BNP chief’s office to invite her to the meet.
Ahmed led a six-member delegation for an one-hour-long meeting with Khaleda.
The team had in it Golam Mohsi, TIM Fazle Rabbi, Nawab Ali Abbas and HM Goalm Reza.
BNP acting Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam was present at the meeting.
Ahmed said his party would be with the Opposition in the ongoing movement for a non-party polls-time government.
He urged Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to quit and hand over power to the President for reaching a solution to the political crisis.
“Otherwise nothing but failure, disgrace and bloodshed will await you.”
Ahmed was expelled from the Jatiya Party after being vocal against Ershad’s decision to join the upcoming parliamentary polls under the incumbent government led by Hasina.
