A cruel misrule dictated by a single individual’s wishes now prevails in the country, BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia has said.
“This is what the country has got now; instead of the rule of law and opposition, activists as well as the general people have become victims of this,” she said in a statement signed by BNP Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi.
“During the tenure of the incumbent government, the rule of law has been so badly damaged that the opposition activists are not only being implicated in false cases but are also being robbed of their rights to seek legal resolution.”
With a view to suppress opposition parties, the illegal government has turned every institution of the state, including police, into its associate bodies, said the former premier, adding that it has got itself completely detached from the people.
Denouncing the ruling administration, Khaleda said it has crossed the final limit of despotism and thus has turned into a giant monster.
She said the country is now crossing a key transitional period amid deep frustration and anarchy.
The countrymen do not have any safety in their lives and properties, the BNP chief added.
In the statement, Khaleda demanded that a false case against BNP leader Amanullah Aman and Goyeshwar Chandra Roy be withdrawn and also called for their unconditional release.
