BNP Vice-Chairman Abdullah Al Noman on Thursday asked the government to arrest the main organisers of casino business and put them on trial instead of detaining some ‘gamblers’ only.
“Thousands of crores of taka of the public have gone to gamblers’ pocket through these casinos. The government itself is saying all those are involved with casinos belong to Awami League and Jubo League. Those who set up the casinos and the masterminds
of those should be arrested and brought to justice,” he said.
He commented while addressing a human-chain programme arranged by Desh Banchao Manush Bancaho Andolon in front of the Jatiya Press Club, protesting the filing of ‘false’ cases against BNP leader Shamsuzzaman Dudu.
The BNP leader said, police only arrested some ‘gamblers’ instead of the masterminds of casinos during recent drive.
“Efforts are on to hush up the masterminds of casinos and those who destroyed the country’s economy,” he said.
Noman said, “It’s not possible to ensure the fall of this government through a casual movement and programmes like forming human chains. We must wage a strong movement uniting people to force the current regime to quit.”
The BNP leader alleged that the government has kept their Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia in jail in ‘false and politically-motivated’ cases to ‘annihilate’ democracy in the country.
He demanded immediate release Khaleda Zia from jail and restore democracy and people’s rights in the country.
