Criticising the government for what she said its repressive acts, BNP Chairperson and Leader of the Opposition Khaleda Zia on Tuesday said the country is under a horrific misrule.
In a statement issued on the occasion of International Day Against Torture to be observed on Wednesday, Khaleda said, “Bangladesh is now under a terrible misrule. Many opposition leaders and activists have been subjected to secret killing, forced disappearance and abduction since the present government has come to power.”
The BNP chief also accused the government of carrying out massive mass killings early this year resorting to vicious repressive policies.
“Killing journalist and brutally torturing many of them have become an order of the day,” the former premier said.
Besides, Khaleda said, newspapers and television channels have been shut one after another to gag the freedom of expression so that the opposition’s voices are not heard.
She alleged that the government lets lose the law enforcers whenever any one tries to raise voice against the government’s undemocratic and intolerant behaviour.
“Women and children are being ruthlessly tortured at different parts of the country by government-patronised terrorists,” she added.
Mentioning that the country’s religion-loving Alem and Ulema were brutally killed, the opposition leader said people are not getting justice from the court. “The government is using the court for its own interest. In the country, the voice of justice is now weeping in the wilderness.”
On the eve of the International Day Against Torture declared by the United Nations, Khaleda expressed her sympathy for all the oppressed people of the world, including Bangladesh.
HASINA STOP LYING :
Poorly educated Prime Minister Mrs Hasina Wajid please read Begum Sufia Kamal’s poem, and see she was a fan of Quaid-e-Azam and lover of Pakistan. Do not you feel shame to use this dead person’s name for achieving your political end? She never told you to hang the Bengali Muslim “ WAR CRIMINALS”. Her recorded historical writing is true or your oral tale? Why you did not quote her while she was alive? It is a horrible sin to use dead person for your evil purpose, fear Allah
Read the following poems of her on QUAID-E-AZAM:
HAY SIPAH-SALAR, HAY MOHAN NETA, HAY MOSHALDHARI, HAY OMR PRAN, NIRVIK MOHAPRAN, KORO NAKO SONGSHOY, TUMAR JONMODINAY, SHORONIO,
Time -December 1953- August 1966: In publication: MAH-E NAW, PAK SHOMACHAR, & PAKISTANI KHOBOR,
You lied that the bleeding Hefajat supporters painted their body & were not dead but alive when the police came they just run away. Nobody killed nobody in Sapla Chottor”. And perhaps now you would say these 235/28 years Hefajat supporters in 1953-1966 composed those poems and they were not Sufia Kamals”.(2)
