BNP Vice Chairman Abdullah Al Noman has described ruling Awami League as the beneficiary of the 1/11 political changeover.

He also alleged that the party is now trying to restore one-party rule by establishing its unilateral control on politics.

Speaking at a human chain programme on Friday, the BNP leader further said, "We're ready to engage in talks for the restoration of democracy. We'll also wage a movement, if necessary."

Jatiya Ganotantrik Mancha arranged the programme demanding the withdrawal of all the 'false' cases filed against BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia and senior vice chairman Tarique Rahman.

Noman warned that people will foil the government's all plots to burry democracy by casting their ballots in favour of BNP in the next general election.

"Awami League will be thrown into the dustbin of history if people can exercise their voting rights in the next polls as ballot is stronger than bullet," he said.

He also said the government will neither be able to eliminate BNP nor suppress people with its repressive acts.

According to UNB, the BNP leader urged the government to come to the path of understanding shunning repressive acts to hold a fair and meaningful election under a non-party neutral administration.
