Awami League Joint General Secretary AFM Bahauddin Nasim has said that when the BNP was in power, they had destroyed Bangladesh's governance system and democracy.
"BNP never believed in democracy. It always wanted to seize state power through conspiracy. If the party believed in democracy, it would not have forced its lawmakers to resign from the parliament with the aim to make the government questionable," he said.
He was addressing a discussion arranged by Australia Bangladesh Journalists Association in Sydney, Australia on Thursday marking the International Mother Language Day.
Nasim said BNP had taken the country to the brink of turning it into a terrorist country through their corruption and terrorist acts.
The Awami League joint general secretary said talks of democracy do not suit BNP. BNP had stigmatized the country's constitution and made it questionable, he said.
BNP came to power by forging alliances with war criminals and misgoverning in the name of authority, he said.
He said BNP had started their movement with a demonstration and now they are doing a silent road march.
BNP will not be able to stop the government's development activities by hatching any conspiracy, he said.
Australia Bangladesh Journalists Association President Abdul Matin and association members were present at the discussion.
