Govt out to cling power by gagging media: BNP
UNB, Narayanganj :
BNP spokesperson Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Friday alleged that government is trying to hang onto power by controlling the media.
“The government wants to cling to power by re-establishing one-party rule after snatching people’s basic rights through controlling the media,” he said.
Fakhrul, also the BNP acting secretary general, was addressing a post-Eid reunion at Meghna Ghat Balurmat arranged by Sonargaon upazila unit of BNP.
Criticising the government for what he said formulating the National Broadcast Policy, 2014 with a motive to gag the media, the BNP leader said the current regime is making black laws one after another to hush up its misdeeds and corruption.
“Awami League had shut down all the newspapers except four papers after establishing one-party Baksal rule in 1975. This time they’re also going ahead with the same policy.”
Accusing the government of grabbing power through a farcical election on January-5, he urged the BNP leaders and activists to get ready for waging a strong movement to restore democracy and save the country from the hands of an ‘illegal’ regime.
“Our leader Khaleda Zia is on a movement to restore people’s voting right and democracy. Fresh action programmes will be announced soon to force this fascist and repressive regime to arrange an election under a non-party administration,” the BNP spokesman told his party colleagues.
Referring to the sensational seven murders here, Fakhrul said the government has established a reign of terror in Narayanganj. “They’ve carried out the seven murders by letting loose the elite force Rab. This government must be ousted to get rid of such heinous acts.”
Chaired by Sonargaon upazila BNP president Khandaker Abu Zafar, the programme was addressed, among others, by BNP joint secretary general Barkatullah Bulu, education affairs secretary Khairul Kabir Khokan and district BNP general secretary Kazi Muniruzzaman.
