BNP spokesman Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Tuesday alleged that the current ‘illegal’ government has established a reign of terror everywhere in the country by resorting to killings, abductions and enforced disappearances only to hang onto power.
“We’re now living in a dreadful suffocating situation. You’ve seen how nine people were killed in Mirpur in a locked-house fire,” he said.
Fakhrul, the BNP acting secretary general, came up with the allegation while addressing a condolence meeting at the Jatiya Press Club.
Jatiyatabadi Krishi Dal arranged the programme in memory of its former president and former MP Mahbubul Alam Tara.
Fakhrul alleged that the government has made all the institutions and organs of the state, including the administration, dysfunctional by using those on its political interests.
The BNP leader held the government responsible for the heinous murder incidents in Narayanganj, Feni and Mirpur.
He urged the party leaders and activists to get ready for a vigorous movement to restore stability and democracy in the country by unseating the current ‘illegal’ regime.
A special munajat was offered after the meeting seeking eternal peace of the departed soul of Mahbubul Alam Tara.
Former Jatiya Sangsad whip and BNP MP Mahbubul Alam Tara died at a Singapore hospital on June 2 at the age of 74.
Tara was elected MP from Feni-3 constituency with a BNP ticket in the fifth parliamentary elections in 1991. He was also made a whip of parliament.
