Staff Reporter :
BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Saturday said the country now turned to the ruling Awami League’s oppressed state.
“The AL government has sued 45 lakhs of the BNP men with false cases across the country.
This country is no more a normal state, it is now turned to a oppressed state,” BNP Secretary General said while addressing a labours convention in Motijheel area in the capital.
The convention was jointly organized by Jatiyatabadi Sramik Dal and Sammilik Sramik Parishad on the road in front of Ideal School and College in Motijheel to fulfill the one-point demand of “Commodity Price, Wage Commission, National Pay Scale, Minimum Wages, Labour Situation and Resignation of the Government”.
Responding to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s statement in an interview with Voice of America, Mirza Fakhrul said, the prime minister has lied about Khaleda Zia out of political vendetta.
“Sheikh Hasina spoke to VOA during her visit in the USA. She is completely lying,” the BNP leader said.
“There were no graft cases against Begum Khaleda Zia.
The money that they say is Tk 2.33 crore has now gone over Tk 8 crore… . It’s in the bank. Begum Khaleda Zia has been detained with false cases so that she cannot do politics only because of political vendetta,” the BNP leader said.
Blaming the government for the critical health condition of Khaleda Zia, who is undergoing treatment at Evercare Hospital, Mirza Fakhrul said, “This government is unjustly imprisoning her in a false case and pushing her to death without giving her a chance to take adequate medical treatment.”
“As per its total activities, this AL government has proved as a terrible monster, a looter, a government like ‘borgis’.
They are smuggling wealth abroad and building gardens there making this country wealth less.
Besides, people are helpless and hungry in my country,” the BNP leader said.
Mirza Fakhrul urged the workers to be united and fight to make free the fight for restoring democracy.
“This people of the working class were fought for democracy in the past.
I believe that the workers will play a leading role this time on the very same purpose,” he said.
