Bangladesh Nationalist Party chairperson Khaleda Zia on Tuesday said the fall of the current “undemocratic and illegal government” in the face of united democratic movement of the people is a matter of time.
“The government must bear in mind that no unelected government can stay in power by means of tortures and repressions and this government will not be able to stay in the power as well,” said the BNP chairperson and the 20-party alliance chief in a press statement signed by party standing committee member Nazrul Islam Khan.
Protesting the arrest of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal president Rajib Ahsan, Khaleda demanded immediate release of the chief of her party’s student front and of other party activists arrested in “false” cases.
Rajib and five others were arrested at Lebukhali Ferighat at Dumki in Patuakhali on Sunday night while they were going to Kuakata in a car.
Police claimed they seized 45 Yaba tablets and a bottle of alcohol from their possession.
The BNP chairperson alleged that Rajib was arrested on false charges in a bid to defame the opposition.
“None saw recovering drugs from the car Rajib was riding in at the time of his arrest and even the law enforcers did not make such claim at the time of arrest. It is nothing but a distasteful propaganda,” she alleged.
She alleged the government has made the law enforcement agencies “tools of propagating government’s falsehood and, that is why, these institutions have now earned mistrust and hatred of people.”
