Ruhul Kabir Rizvi Ahmed, joint secretary general of the party, made the statement at a press briefing at party’s Nayapaltan headquarters on Friday.
He said: “In the holy month of Ramadan, the government has started repressing the opposition leaders and activists using the law enforcing agencies. Law enforcing agencies raided our leaders and activists houses at night and arrested many of our leaders illogically.”
The BNP leader also claimed that thousands of party leaders and activists cannot stay in their houses just because of police harassment.
Rizvi said the cabinet members are making provocative statements just to save their jobs.
“A cabinet minister has publicly issued life threat to BNP chairperson. The government’s ministers are now wishing to eradicate Khaleda from the world,” he alleged.
Branding the incumbent parliament illegal, the joint secretary general said parliament has turned into a centre of cultural programme.
BNP Dhaka city unit member secretary Abdus Salam, among the others, were present in the briefing.
