BNP terms new govt artificial regime
Staff Reporter :
The main opposition party-BNP on Friday claimed that the chief of the new government is choked by ‘unknown fear’. The party also described the new Awami League government, as the ‘blackest artificial regime’ in the country.
“Immediately after the fake election and before the end of the term of the 11th parliament, Sheikh Hasina formed the government at an unprecedented speed by issuing the gazette and swearing in hastily.
It has manifested that an unknown fear has gripped her.
Life falls into such sleepless uncertainty of facing fall when the throne is set up like a house of cards with illegitimacy, forgery and deception,” said BNP Senior Joint-Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi at a press briefing at the party’s Nayapaltan office in the capital.
“The new AL government led by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina bears characteristics of one-party fascism in Bangladesh political history. The journey of the blackest artificial government started on Thursday, on the blackest day of 1/11,” Rizvi said.
“The blackest artificial government started after the swearing-in of dummy MPs based on dummy results of a dummy election held with dummy candidates, dummy voters, dummy polling agents and dummy observers,” he said.
The BNP leader said, “The people of the country and the democratic world have rejected the fascist regime of Sheikh Hasina by denouncing the dummy election held on January 7.”
“They also turned down all the processes involved with that election, including persons, the results, the oaths, the parliament and the government,” he said.
The BNP leader said, “The new parliament and the cabinet are not acceptable to the country’s people. People rejected it from all fronts.”
Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, who has been holding virtual press conferences since BNP leaders went into hiding following violent clashes with the police on October 28, attended his first in person press briefing on Friday as the party’s central office reopened on Thursday breaking the locks of the main gate.
He said that their party leaders and activists had been in a movement for the restoration of democracy and people’s voting and other democratic rights.
The BNP leader claimed that people manifested their support in favour of the movement of the BNP and other opposition parties by boycotting the so-called election on January 7.
He said that the Awami League leaders defeated in the January 7 election are now branding Sheikh Hasina as the Prime Minister of illegal votes by narrating the incidents of vote fraud, vote robbery and various irregularities
The defeated candidates are now publicly saying who have been taken to the polls with how much money.
“The cat is slowly coming out of the bag. All misdeeds of the ruling party are getting exposed.
BNP has long been saying Sheikh Hasina is a vote thief and now people belonging to Awami League are saying Sheikh Hasina is a vote thief and Sheikh Hasina is a vote robber,” Rizvi said.
“The people of the country are ready to destroy the ‘House of Cards’ government through democratic movement,” he said.
