BNP is trying to make a platform with the parties that boycotted the January-5 election to wage a strong movement for forcing the government to concede to their demand for holding an immediate fresh national election.
“Holding a fresh inclusive and acceptable election is now a demand of time. Efforts are on to make a platform with the political parties that boycotted the January-5 election to launch a vigorous movement,” said BNP acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir.
The BNP spokesman came up with the disclosure while talking to local reporters at his ancestral home.
He said they are in touch with CPB, Ganoforum, Bikolpodhara Bangladesh (BDB), Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (Rob) and some left and other parties to forge the coalition.
Fakhrul lamented that no government in the past obliterated democracy they way the current regime did it.
Criticising the government for the ‘growing incidents of killing, abduction and forced disappearance’, he said the government is killing opposition leaders in a planned way to establish a one-party rule.
He claimed that 24 young opposition leaders were made disappeared in just one month before the January-5 election.
Slamming the government for blocking their democratic programmes, the BNP leader warned that the opposition will be forced to go on a harsher course of action if all the ways for a democratic movement are blocked by it.
He said a quarter within the ruling party is also unhappy over the regime’s undemocratic attitude.
Asked how long he will perform as the BNP acting secretary general, Fakhrul said their party’s national council will be held very soon where a decision will be taken in this regard.
