“Being detached from the international community, the government is trying to protect its illegal power by capturing selfies. They are using the police force to suppress the ongoing movement. The government is involved in enforced disappearance, extra-judicial killing, and abduction to stop opposition voice,” the Jamaat leader added.

“People’s movement cannot be stopped by mass arrest, filling fake cases and shooting at and the government cannot be saved themselves by capturing selfies,” Muhammad Rezaul Karim added.

He called upon the government to return the disappeared to their relatives.

“The government has failed to face the opposition politically and ideologically. They have targeted Jamaat. They have killed the top Jamaat Leaders,” M R Karim said.

He urged all to be united to oust the government.

“The government has canceled the election-time caretaker government system to prolong its illegal power. They have destroyed all constitutional institutions,” the city secretary also added.

He further called upon the government to hand over power to the caretaker government. Otherwise, people will secure their mass demand.
