Dhaka Bureau: BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir expressed his fear and said that thousands of activists are roaming around the balcony of the court every day. In a month and a half, I may have to go to jail too. The government is conspiring to punish those who have taken a stand against the government. Today, thousands of BNP activists are on the balcony of the court. This cannot be a democratic country.
Mirza Fakhrul called the country’s intellectuals and editors to visit the balcony of the court and said, How many leaders and activists attend? How many ordinary people and leaders and activists are going? He said there is democracy! In such a system of justice, if it grants bail in the High Court, it again blocks it in the lower court. He said these things at an unveiling and discussion meeting at Dhaka Reporters Unity on Thursday (September 7) at the initiative of the leaders of 90’s Daksu and the All-Party Student Union.
The meeting was held under the title Democracy of the Nineties and Some Words of the Book Written by Former Daksu VP Aman Ullah Aman’. The BNP Secretary General said that the Ministry of Law has created a cell where the sentence can be given with speedy judgment. All those who are working to change the destiny of the country have to join in a row and go to court. He said the country has reached a turning point. The most relevant thing now is whether this nation will survive or not.
He said, The government is planning to put Dr. Yunus in jail. A case has been filed against him due to revenge. Dr. BNP has relied not on Yunus but on the people of the country. Mirza Fakhrul said, We want elections; we believe in fair elections; there is no way to change without elections. It is believed by those who believe in democracy. If the election is under the party government, as I have seen from previous experience, the election is not fair under any party government. If it is again under the Awami League.
It will never be fair. He said the nation has faced today Will the nation survive politically today or not? Unfortunately for us today, we were 71 and 90 when we had to give our lives for the founder of democracy. But after 52 years, today we have to talk about it. It seems that democracy has been completely eradicated from the country.
Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said the Awami League has a history of not believing in democracy. Saying this irritates them. In 1975, they established Bakshal and killed democracy. Can they deny it? They didn’t do it.
