BNP acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Sunday said the recent upazila election results have proved that people are against the current regime.
“The government has resorted to various evil designs to manipulate the upazila election results, but they couldn’t do that as people were not with them,” he said.
The BNP spokesman came up with the remarks while addressing a discussion at the Jatiya Press Club.
Jatiyatabadi Swechchhasebak Dal arranged the programme demanding the release of its leaders, including general secretary and organising secretary, and an immediate fresh national election under a non-party regime.
Terming the current regime illegal and unconstitutional one, Fakhrul said it is now in office only with the power of arms not with people’s mandate.
“The government has held the entire nation hostage by resorting to killing, forced disappearance and repressive acts as they have no trust in people,” he observed.
Fakhrul said Awami League through a farce and deception in the name of election on January 5 sat on people’s shoulder like a heavy stone, annihilating democracy and violating human rights.
Calling upon the government to stop the drama of ‘crossfire’, he said the government mysteriously killed recaptured militant Rakib.
“A man was killed in crossfire in Magura today (Sunday). No one is safe now as any one can be killed in the name of encounter,” the BNP leader added.
He claimed that around 304 people have killed in police firing across the country since October 25 last year to January 25.
The BNP spokesman also urged the government to hold a fresh national election under a non-party administration shunning its repressive acts.
Fakhrul asked the BNP leaders and activists to get united leaving out their frustration to wage a vigorous movement to oust this regime.
