Criticising the current regime for ‘its growing repressive act’, BNP on Monday threatened to wage an irresistible oust-government movement soon.
“This government wants to hang on to power resorting to terrorist activities. In fact, it’s the Godfather of terrorism. We’ll soon launch a rigorous movement and will continue it until the fall of this autocratic regime,” said BNP joint sectary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi.
The BNP leader issued the threat at a press briefing at BNP’s Nayapaltan central office in the city.
Rizvi alleged that the government wants to annihilate the opposition so that no one can raise voice against its misdeeds.
Slamming the government for what he said the recent spate of extra-judicial killings, he alleged the government by its subservient law enforcers is indiscriminately killing the opposition leaders and activists in the name of crossfire across the country.
Referring to a recent report of local rights body Odhikar, the BNP leader said 39 opposition leaders and activists have become victim of the extra-judicial killings after the January 5 general election.
Rizvi said the government does not want to allow the opposition to hold their democratic programmes as it got isolated from the people.
Referring to Sunday attack on general students at Rajshahi University reportedly by police and Chhatra League activists, the BNP leader on behalf of his party condemned the incident.
“Though Chhatra League cadres and police attacked general students at Rajshahi University, the Prime Minister, the Information Minister and Home Minister remained silent. It seems that they are proud of the heinous activities by the hooligans of their organisations,” Rizvi said.
