The New Nation - Internet Edition

UNB, Narayanganj

Kallyan Party chief Gen (rtd) Muhammad Ibrahim in an obvious reference to the dilemma on December 18 election has said the next seven days is crucial for the nation.

"The fate of the nation will be decided in next seven days," he said while inaugurating construction of fishing trawler by Engineering & Ship Building Limited at Nabiganj yesterday.

In an oblique reference of Awami League and BNP he said in a sarcastic tone, "The two major political parties have apparently embarked on a football match. One party is prepared while the other is not."

Gen Ibrahim observed, "government should maintain a limit in reaching understanding with or allowing concessions to a political party. At the same it should keep the promise if it had made to a political party."
