‘Be sure of change, victory of democracy’
Staff Reporter :
There will be change, truth and democracy will win as people have no peace in the country because of lack of security.
The people of the country are in serious troubleand leading a suffocating life due to high prices of rice, pulses, salt and oil, which are beyond their affordable limit.
BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir came up with the remarks while addressing a discussion in the city’s Dhaka Reporters Unity on Sunday.
He alleged that the government has again started staging drama of anti-militancy drives to divert public attention from the opposition’s ongoing one-point movement to oust the ruling Awami League.
‘As the movement started, the government has resorted to conducting the drama in order to divert people’s attention and create panic the western world.
They are staging drama like this,’ Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said.
He informed the BNP leaders and activists that a change was imminent. ‘Be sure, change is coming. There will be change; truth will win; beauty will win; and democracy will win.’
‘We are very optimistic. Many people ask, why they always see a smile on my face. I can clearly see that the stone is being removed from the chests of the people. People are being freed,’ he added.
The discussion was organised on the occasion of the 54th birth anniversary of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia’s late younger son, Arafat Rahman.
On Saturday, police raided a house suspected of being a terrorist hideout in the remote hilly area of Kulaura upazila of Moulvibazar and arrested 10 people, including women with children.
Referring to that operation, Fakhrul said the days of such ‘drama’ have gone and people, as well as westerners, are now aware of the Awami League’s character of diverting issues.
Fakhrul alleged that Arafat Rahman had to die a tragic death due to political vendetta, adding that BNP Chairperson Khaleda is being denied proper treatment.
He alleged that the ruling party wished Khaleda Zia’s death every moment while the former prime minister is very ill.
‘If it were any civilised country in the world, the government would have taken the initiative to provide better treatment to her.
The doctors have repeatedly said that her necessary treatment is not possible here.
In developed countries, in advanced medical centres where treatment is available, she should be taken,’ he said.
