Brig (Rtd) ASM Hannan Shah, adviser to BNP chairperson, yesterday warned of dire consequences to the present government for its oppression and maladministration.

"Holding of election alone will not save you. You have indulged in conspiracy, unduly enjoyed the cream and cheese. Don't think people will allow you to flee the country after doing the mischief," Shah said directing his finger at the caretaker government.

"Don't think you can suppress the people by continuing the emergency for long. No autocratic government survived by suppressing the people," added the BNP leader Shah who was arrested thrice but enlarged on bail.

Shah was speaking at a discussion marking the Independence and National Day organised at the press club by Shaheed Zia Srmiti Sangsad in the afternoon. Referring to the demand by BNP front organizations for programme of movement against the government Shah said it would not be necessary if the caretaker government hand over power after holding a credible poll.
