BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir called the police’s obstruction of the Democracy Forum program an expression of cruelty.
He made this comment in a statement sent to the media on Wednesday (February 28) night.

Another brutal manifestation was the brutal police attack on a peaceful protest march at the Democracy Forum. More than 50 activists, including the leader of the Democracy Manch, Jonaid Saki, were injured.
He further said, I condemn and protest against such attacks. We demand the immediate unconditional release of those arrested. Besides, the BNP Secretary General wished for the speedy recovery of the injured Jonaid Saki.
