‘People are suffering due to oppression by BaKSAL-2 govt’
BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Sunday demanded the unconditional release of the party’s detained leaders and activists before Eid-ul-Fitr, the biggest religious festival of Muslims.
He made the call at a press conference at the BNP’s Naya Paltan central office.
Rizvi said showing respect to law the BNP men appeared before the court for bail when Sheikh Hanina’s “subservient court” sent them to jail.
“People are suffering due to oppression by BaKSAL-2 (The Bangladesh Krishak Sramik Awami League) government. Ruling Awami League is enjoying all facilities solely to hold meetings, rally in the country whereas other political parties have no right to do that,” he claimed.
They grabbed the state power by contaminating the electoral process, Rizvi alleged further adding that Awami terrorism has exceeded all of its limits.
“By burying the principles of democracy, Awami League has made the country a totalitarian state. In this situation, the feeling of joy for Eid has disappeared from people’s minds,” Rizvi said.
Especially, this time Eid seems pale for the middle and lower-income group people, he said.
“Torture and robbery are everywhere in the country. By using state power, Awami League is continuing oppression, forced disappearance, killing, filing ghost and false cases against oppositions,” he added.
The BNP leader said the Awami League government has filed 150,000 false cases in the last 16 years against 5 million BNP leaders and activists including its chairperson Khaleda Zia and acting chairman Tarique Rahman.
