BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia on Tuesday urged all to get united to save the country from the grasp of the scum of the world and corrupt people.
“There’s no good man with this regime. Only the scum of the world and corrupt people are with it. I urge all to get united to save the country and its people from their hands,” she said.
Khaleda, also a former Prime Minister, made the call while addressing an Iftar party arranged by Bikalpa Dhara Bangladesh (BDB) at Samurai Convention Centre in the city’s Panthapath area.
She alleged that the country’s people are passing through a critical time due to misrule and repression by the current government.
The BNP chief alleged the government has indulged in terrorism, killings, enforced disappearances and widespread corruption and looting instead of doing welfare of people.
“Many people have killed and made disappeared since Awami League has assumed office. People irrespective of their religion, colour and opinion have become victims to the government’s repressive acts,” she claimed.
Khaleda said the rule of law, democracy, peace and development all theses things are now absent in the country. “We have no time now to think who’s big, who’s small, who’s rightist, who’s leftist, who’s Hindu, who Muslim and who is Christian. We all who love the country to get united take to the streets to restore, peace and democracy in the country.”
BDB president AQM Badruddoza Chowdhury, noted lawyer Barrister Rafiqul Haq, BNP standing committee members RA Gani and MK Anwar, BDB secretary general Major (retd) Abdul Mannan and Nagorik Oikya Convener Mahmudur Rahman Manna were, among others, present.
