(NCP) Convener and Opposition Chief Whip Nahid Islam said on Wednesday.Responding to a question from
a journalist about what the alliance would do if the government failed to
implement the referendum verdict, Nahid said their programmes were already
underway.We will begin a long march
from September 5. Similar programmes will gradually be organised in other
divisions. We will also hold a mass rally in Dhaka demanding implementation of
the referendum verdict, he said.Nahid made the remarks at a
press conference following a meeting of the 11-party alliance at the official
residence of the opposition leader on Minto Road in the capital.He also raised concerns over
the country’s current power and gas situation.“There is a gas and
electricity crisis in the country at the moment. Even when ministers and
lawmakers are speaking, the electricity goes out. Yet they are trying to say,
in different ways, that there is no crisis,” Nahid said.March planned
