Fakhrul alleged the government is trying to create panic among people by filing ‘false’ cases against BNP men, brutally repressing them after placing them on remand and resorting to killings, abductions and enforced disappearances.
Claiming that the government has become isolated from people, the BNP leaders aid the government is resorting to repressive acts so that opposition leaders and activists cannot put up any strong resistance against its despotic and anti-people activities.
He warned the government that it will not be able to escape its fall with these repressive acts.
