"They (AL) want to cripple the national economy and make Bangladesh a satellite state of a neighbouring country," he told a public meeting at Dohar, organised by the local BNP.

Huda said that Awami League is implementing a blueprint by pursuing the politics of hartal and destruction to make Bangladesh dependent on others.

A big challenge is ahead of BNP to uphold democracy and the base of development in the country, he said.

He urged the people to re-elect the BNP-led four-party alliance to combat hartal, terrorism and anti-state conspiracy.
