Fakhrul urges public servants to take sides with people
Staff Reporter :
BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Saturday urged public servants and the state institutions to discharge their duties as per the constitution since the government was trying to seize power again by using the state apparatus.
“We urge our brothers who are in administration, law enforcement agencies, and the Judiciary to discharge your specific responsibilities in light with the constitution and the specific code of conduct.
Do not bow down to injustice and take sides with the people,” the BNP leader said while speaking at a rally of professionals in front of the National Press Club in the capital.
Bangladesh Sammilita Peshajibi Parishad arranged the rally in protest against the ‘prescribed’ verdict of a lower court against BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman and his wife Dr. Zubaida Rahman in a graft case.
“The government is again dreaming that they will go to power by holding the polls in the same way they done previously.
When you open the newspapers every day you will see news on transfers of DCs, SPs, new postings, and the promotions of thousands of people in the administration.
They are doing these as they think of crossing the election hurdle again by regulating the administration as before. This won’t happen again,” Mirza Fakhrul said.
He said that the government’s all efforts to cling power would go in vain as the country’s people and all opposition political parties were now united to oust the government.
“Awami League has assumed power by force and destroying the entire election system and holding two completely ridiculous consecutive general polls in 2014 and 2018,” he said.
The BNP leader said that their party together with other opposition parties has been waging a tougher movement to restore the voting rights and freedom of the people of the country.
He urged the professionals to join the opposition’s ongoing movement for the restoration of democracy and people’s right which they have lost in the misrules of the regime.
