Road march was a 'car rally': Hasina


Sripur, Oct 16 (bdnews24.com) — The Awami League president has said the opposition's road march to Sylhet was a 'car rally'.

"Road march means you walk. What opposition leader Khaleda Zia did was a car rally. That's not a road march, that's a road show," Sheikh Hasina told an Awami League rally in Sripur upazila in Gazipur on Sunday.

BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia, and senior party leaders and activists of BNP marched from Dhaka to Sylhet on Oct 10, demanding reinstatement of the caretaker government system.

A sports utility vehicle (SUV) carried her while a large convoy of over 2,000 vehicles carrying opposition activists followed.

Hasina said there were 2,000 'expensive' cars at the rally.

"Where did you get the money for that? We'll have to note down every number plate and find out where they came from. We also need to know how you paid for those cars," she said.
