The leaders and activists of BNP’s Dhaka North City unit held 3rd march from the capital’s Mirpur to Gabtoli to press home their 10-point demand, including holding the next general election under a non-party caretaker government.
BNP Standing Committee member Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain formally inaugurated the program at Gabtoli SA Khalekque Paribahan Maidan around 3:20 pm on Tuesday, reports UNB.
It is the third such program of BNP as the party’s Dhaka North City unit marched from Badda to Malibagh on Saturday and the Dhaka South City unit marched from Jatrabari to Jurine on Monday.
In a brief address prior to launching the march, Mosharraf said whenever BNP announces any programs, the ‘usurper’ government try to mislead people by talking about violence. “But BNP held 10 rallies peacefully braving various obstacles. We also held many other programmes peacefully. The fact is that the government gets scared of losing power whenever BNP comes up with any program.”
He said the government has ruined the country’s economy by indulging in widespread plundering and siphoning off huge money abroad, creating a famine-like situation in the country.
The BNP leader said people have taken to the streets to ensure the fall of the current government. “The sooner this regime goes the better for the country.”
He asked the party leaders and activists to hold the program peacefully as they did all other previous programs to prove once again BNP does not resort to violence and chaos.
Another BNP standing committee member Nazrul Islam Khan said people are going through a very tough time due to unusual price hikes in all essential items.
He said the government is also raising the prices of utility services as it has taken a stance against the country’s people. “There’s no alternative to ousting this regime to save the country, and its people and restore democracy and people’s rights.”
The BNP leader said Awami League’s history is killing democracy or supporting those who obstructed democracy while BNP repeatedly restored democracy.
“We need to restore it once again together with people through a movement.”
