COLONEL (RETIRED) OLI ALSO TOLD REPORTERS THAT, SOME 200 ‘ARMY OFFICERS’ HAVE ALSO JOINED HIS PARTY, BUT HE DECLINED TO DISCLOSE THEIR NAMES FOR SECURITY REASON.

FROM THIS EVENING A JOINT ANTI-TERROR OPERATION BY POLICE, BDR AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE LAW ENFORCING AGENCIES WILL BEGIN. IT MAY BE MENTIONED HERE THAT, ALAMGIR KABIR, WHO JUST JOINED THE NEWLY FLOATED POLITICAL PARTY WAS AN OPEN SUPPORTER OF JAMAATUL MUJAHEDIN BANGLADESH (JMB). PRIME MINISTER BEGUM KHALEDA ZIA WILL ADDRESS THE NATION ON FRIDAY EVENING ON COMPLETION OF HER FIVE YEAR TERM. THE FORMATION OF NEW POLITICAL PARTY ALTHOUGH WAS PREDICTED FOR PAST SEVERAL MONTHS, JOINING OF BNP’S MPS AND MINISTERS BROUGHT A BIG BLOW TO ITS LEADERSHIP.
