BNP standing committee member Rafiqul Islam Miah on Saturday alleged that parliament has been turned into a ‘dollhouse’ through the January 5 national election.
“Some dolls, not people’s representatives, were elected through the January 5 polls. With these dolls, parliament has become a dollhouse,” he said.
Addressing a discussion at the Jatiya Press club, the BNP leader said people will not allow the current regime to stay in office with these dolls.
Bangladesh Jatiyatabadi Karmajibi Dala organised the programme titled ‘Extrajudicial killing, basic rights and the national election’.
Disapproving the ruling party leaders’ remarks that BNP missed the election train, the BNP leader said, “It was not the election train, but a train of passengers from doll house. Had BNP boarded the train the number of doll house passengers would have increased but democracy got killed.”
Rafiqul said the government deceived people by holding a farcical election on January 5.
He also claimed that most countries in the world did not accept the 10th parliamentary polls and recognise the current government.
The BNP leader urged the government to take sincere steps for resolving the political crisis through holding a fresh election.
He urged BNP leaders and activists not to get frustrated and wage a strong movement with a fresh vigor to force the government to hold free, fair and inclusive national elections.
