Photo: Focus BanglaBangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) chairperson Khaleda Zia on Wednesday alleged that the Bangladesh Awami League led ‘unelected’ government is engaged in a plot to hand over Bangladesh’s sovereignty to others.
She said the government, after assuming office, wanted to lend the country’s sovereignty to foreign power, and BDR Mutiny was the first step to this end. The border force was weakened through the carnage, Khaleda said, adding that Border Guard Bangladesh now cannot protect the people along border. Foreign force is killing people intruding into the country, but the failed government cannot protest. BGB lost its prowess, and so, Myanmar also attacked the country.
Also former prime minister, Khaleda, made a clarion call to all democratic and patriotic people to forge unity against the “conspiracy.”
“Only the people can thwart the conspiracy. To the end, irrespective of political identities, all should stand on a single platform,” said the BNP chairperson while addressing an iftar programme in the capital city.
Doctors Association of Bangladesh (DAB) organised the iftar programme at the Ladies Club in Eskaton of the city, with its president AKM Azizul Haque in the chair.
Khaleda alleged that Bangladesh is no more a democratic state; it rather emerged to be a police state.
“The police are picking up whomever they want, and killing them in the name of crossfire. There is no rule of law in the country and that’s why the police are being able to carry out these misdeeds,” alleged the former prime minister.
Bangladeshis are being killed along the India border one after another, but the government is not strongly protesting against the killings, only to cling to the power.
