New govt most fascist regime, says BNP

Bangladesh Nationalist Party senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Friday described the new Awami League government, led by prime minister Sheikh Hasina, as the ‘blackest artificial regime’ in Bangladesh with characteristics of one-party fascism.

‘The journey of the blackest artificial government characterised by one-party fascism started yesterday [Thursday] in Bangladesh political history, on the blackest day of 1/11, after the swearing-in of dummy MPs based on dummy results of a dummy election held with dummy candidates, dummy voters, dummy polling agents and dummy observers,’ he said.

Speaking at a press briefing at the party’s Naya Paltan central office, he also said that the people of the country and the democratic world rejected the ‘fascist’ regime of Sheikh Hasina by boycotting the dummy election held on January 7.

‘They also turned down all the processes involved with that election, including persons, the results, the oaths, the parliament and the government,’ he said.

Immediately after the fake election and before the end of the term of the 11th parliament, Rizvi said that Sheikh Hasina formed the government at an unprecedented speed by issuing the gazette and swearing in hastily.

 

 

‘It has manifested that an unknown fear has gripped her. Life falls into such sleepless uncertainty of facing fall when the throne is set up like a house of cards with illegitimacy, forgery and deception,’ he said.

The BNP leader said that the new parliament and the cabinet were not acceptable to the country’s people. ‘People rejected it from all fronts,’ he said.

Rizvi, who has been holding virtual press conferences since BNP leaders went into hiding following violent clashes with the police on October 28, attended his first in person press briefing on Friday as the party’s central office reopened on Thursday.

He said that their party leaders and activists had been in a movement for the restoration of democracy and people’s voting and other democratic rights.

The BNP leader claimed that people manifested their support in favour of the movement of the BNP and other opposition parties by boycotting the ‘so-called’ election on January 7.’

He said that the Awami League leaders defeated in the January 7 election were now branding Sheikh Hasina as the prime minister of illegal votes by narrating the incidents of vote fraud, vote robbery and various irregularities

‘The defeated candidates are now publicly saying who have been taken to the polls with how much money. The cat is slowly coming out of the bag. All misdeeds of the ruling party are getting exposed. BNP has long been saying Sheikh Hasina is a vote thief and now people belonging to Awami League are saying Sheikh Hasina is a vote thief and Sheikh Hasina is a vote robber,’ Rizvi said.
