BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said, we are now diaspora even from our own country. Going outside the country for treatment or actually being kept at the airport for hours. In fact, the country is running the Awami League? I don’t think so. It seems that some invisible force is running the country.
He said, the entire country has been kept under siege. There is no job without Awami League. Even after passing BCS there is no job. DNA test for jobs is known whether they are BNP or not.
Mirza Fakhrul said these things at a protest rally in front of the Naya Paltan BNP central office in the capital on Saturday (May 11) afternoon.
The Jatiyatabadi Jubo Dal organized the rally to demand the release of BNP chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia, the withdrawal of the case against Tariq Rahman and the release of Jubo Dal president Sultan Salahuddin Tuku and the prisoners. A large number of leaders and activists of the surrounding districts including various wards and police stations of the capital Dhaka participated in it.
Mirza Fakhrul said, Khaleda Zia is not only a persecuted leader, but she is the guardian of democracy. The one who sacrificed his whole life for the country and people, fought for democracy, today the monstrous government has imprisoned him out of vengeance. Who was sentenced to 5 years, the High Court has reduced it to 10 years. Many people got bail in such cases, but he was not given bail. he is sick Everyone from the country and abroad is demanding his release but it is not being given. Because, if he is free, the people will answer his call and break all chains, uproot all injustice and injustice.
The Secretary General of BNP said that thousands of BNP leaders and activists have been detained. Many were sentenced to death. Courts have been used for party work. 9 people have been sentenced to death in Ishwardi. They want to stay in power by using the court. How ruthlessly the October 28 peaceful rally was staged. Democratic movement cannot be stopped by injustice and oppression. When we were young, we fought and made this country free. Today that freedom is lost. Since 2008, people have not been able to vote. People have been disenfranchised. The government wants to establish Bakshal again in a different way.
Criticizing the speech of Awami League General Secretary, BNP Secretary General said that yesterday Obaidul Quader said, ‘Don’t do terrorism, then I will give double education’. BNP does not do terrorism. you do Awami League was born through terrorism. Maulana Bhasani was beaten and expelled from Awami League. You beat and killed the Deputy Speaker.
He said, it is our misfortune that the nation fought for democracy and freedom of speech. Bangladesh is deprived of that right today. The price of everything is increasing. Train fares, bus fares, electricity-water-gas-water prices are increasing. On the other hand, the country’s economy is being looted, banks are being looted. New laws are being made for the benefit of looters.
Mirza Fakhrul said that the election system has been destroyed. A new formula is being developed. The name of the January 7 election is dummy election. Dummy ran with domestic parties in the election. If they don’t get so many seats, those parties threaten not to go for election again.
He said, the government says that they have established democracy. They really have no shame. They consider the country as their ancestral property. As you want, it will continue. But, it won’t. The country will run as the people want.
