‘BNP destroys democratic culture & institutions

City Desk :
Awami League General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader on Monday said BNP has destroyed the country’s democratic culture, structures and institutions.
“Due to their (BNP’s) anti-democratic politics, the democratic advancement of the country has repeatedly been halted,” he said in a statement.
Condemning and protesting the falsehood and propaganda of BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, Quader said Fakhrul and other BNP leaders talk about democracy but they criticise democratic institutions without going to elections.
“How will BNP establish democracy by continuing undemocratic practices within the party?” he questioned, reports BSS.
Following the footsteps of BNP founder Ziaur Rahman, the BNP gifted the nation elections of farce – the February 15 polls, voter-less Magura and Mirpur by-polls, the AL general secretary said.
He said the country’s people know better that who formed the Aziz-mark Election Commission (EC) and created around 1.23 crore fake voters.
Fakhrul, the spokesperson of a party formed by grabbing power in unconstitutional way putting people at gunpoint, talks about democracy and voting rights, which is nothing but the devil listening to the scriptures, Quader said.
He said military dictator Ziaur Rahman formed BNP in an unconstitutional way and captured the power of the state, so the party has no capacity to present democracy to the country’s people.
