BNP acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said time has come to stage movements like 1971 and 1990 in order to overthrow the “inept” government.
He said: “It is the high time to oust the inept and ineligible government as the common people of the country do not want to see it in the power anymore.”
The BNP spokesperson made the remarks while addressing a meeting with local activists of the party at Muktarpur Ferry Ghat area in Munshiganj Sadar upazila on Thursday.
Fakhrul said: “The Awami League wants to establish the one-party rule in the country and has made the independence, democracy and religious freedom vulnerable.”
“The government want to stay in power forever. It snatched the voting rights of people in gun point. That's why the people do not want the party to arrange any poll.”
He also claimed that the Awami League would not get even 30 seats in any neutral election.
“As only 5% people participated in January 5 elections, no countries of the globe accepted it.”
Questioning the government's move to secure people's security, he said: “The people of the country now cannot move in the streets safely. The Awami League wants to consolidate power by murders, abductions and looting.”
Echoing BNP Vice-Chairman Tarique Rahman's claim, Fakhrul further said: “Those, who were against Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and made offensive comments on him, are now sitting in the parliament as ministers.”
Refuting to Sheikh Hasina's remark that Khaleda Zia patronised militancy, he also said: “The Awami League has patronised militancy as it had begun during the party’s regime.”
