BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said over the past few years, the party has proved that it never commits violence.
“Violence is done by the government and its agencies. They want to blame the BNP, but could not this time,” he said while talking to journalists at his residence in Thakurgaon on Friday.
BNP is not protesting for its benefit; it is protesting to get back people's right to vote, to protect constitutional rights, democratic rights, freedom of media, and more, Mirza Fakhrul said.
He further claimed that despite verbal opposition, the government now has clear communication with the Jamaat-e-Islami.
Mirza Fakhrul added: “People have decided that they do not want to see this government. The government itself has created a political crisis. They abolished the caretaker government system to perpetuate one-party rule.”
It is universally accepted that under Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government, there will be no transparent and fair elections, he added.
