The situation compelled BNP to participate in the 11th National Parliamentary Election. Though BNP is trying to put up a movement from the very beginning; but they aimed to participate in the election for a very long time. Senior leaders of BNP informed that, they wanted to assess the behavior of the government through those protests and threats but they also planned to participate in the election as a part of the movement. Their leaders are considering it as the second phase of their movement Source from BNP’s Nayapaltan party office informed that, BNP was able to understand the intention of the government by participating on the political dialogue for two times. They understood the behavior of the government about their demands and freedom of their prime leader Khaleda Zia. BNP thinks that, if they take the path to violence once again, then government will handle it strictly. It might have an effect on the release of Begum Khaleda Zia. Besides, election schedule has been declared, so BNP is not thinking about creating any violent situation for now. Then again, Tarique Rahman thinks that, they will be able to negotiate with the government about Khaleda Zia’s freedom when they will sit down in the parliament. Tarique Rahman instructed Mirza Fakhrul on 10th November to take preparation for the election as a part of their plan. Vice President Anam Hossain of Mohammadpur Thana Jubodol was there at that time with Mirza Fakhrul when Tarique Rahman phoned Mirza Fakhrul. He said, “Tarique Rahman thinks that, BNP has to participate in the election to achieve support of the mass people. BNP does not have any place without the politics of gaining votes. Then again, government is determined to arrange the election and BNP in no place to alter that. That is why, Tarique Rahman thinks that, participating in the election is actually BNP’s movement of taking down the government.” In this regard BNP leader Zahir Uddin Shapan says, “We never said that we are not going to participate in the election. We only objected the reformation of the election system. Politics and election completes each other. So, BNP will participate in the election but we will also think about the political nature of the country and our movement. We made a mistake when we did not take part in the previous election. But it will not be repeated. The government needs to understand that BNP is an important party. BNP will teach a lesson to the government by participating in the election.” Meanwhile, senior leader Moudud Ahmed of BNP analyzed the situation in a different way. He said, “Even Khaleda Zia wants BNP to participate in the election. In that case our only goal will be to win the election and present it to the people of Bangladesh. Taking part in the election is the most logical decision. If anyone thinks that, BNP is scared of protesting and that is why they are participating then he or she will make a mistake. We do not want to jeopardize our democracy. Our first plan was to sit down with the government in the political dialogue. But it was failed. So, now our second plan is to participate in the election. You can also consider it as the second stage of our protest.”
