BNP acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Saturday said the government cannot resist the opposition leaders and activists from carrying on their ‘justified’ movement by resorting to repressive acts.
In a statement, he said, “The government neither will be able to scare the opposition leaders and activists nor resist them from carrying on their movement for realising people’s justified demand by resorting to repression and oppression.”
The BNP spokesman issued the statement protesting the arrest of Dhaka City unit 79-ward general secretary Mujibur Rahman Anu and Sutrapur thana unit Sramik Dal president Delwar Hossain Mollah.
Sutrapur police arrested the duo on Thursday from Sadar Ghat area in the city.
Fakhrul alleged that the current regime after assuming office through the January 5 ‘farcical elections’ has increased the degree of its repression and oppression.
“The opposition leaders and activists are being killed, abducted, made disappeared, arrested, tortured and implicated in cases by this illegal regime. The arrest of Mujibur Rahman Anu and Delwar Hossain Mollah is part of the government’s continued repressive acts,” he added.
He demanded the government immediately release the two city opposition leaders.
