BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Tuesday called upon the government to hold a national convention in order to forge a national consensus with all among the political parties of the country to eliminate militancy.
“The government is practising falsehood about militancy. They should leave it in the greater interest. The country is heading towards a grave situation, which must be checked,” said the BNP leader.
He said it while attending an Iftar mahfil organised by Dhaka University unit of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal in the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh.
He said the militancy cannot be eliminated alone.
Mirza Fakhrul also accused the government of carrying out propaganda about militancy and destroying the democratic institutions one by one.
“Their aim is not to curb militancy, rather to eliminate the opposition using the militancy issue. That is why they are shifting the responsibility to the opposition instead of nabbing the real perpetrators,” he said. He further said they are killing the accused in the crossfire to hide the real story.
“The ruling Awami League is killing democracy and snatching all democratic and voting rights of the people, pushing the country’s existence at a stalk,” he said.
He alleged that they have no freedom of expression. The BNP is not allowed to hold meeting and rally.
Former Vice-Chancellor of Dhaka University Professor Dr. Emaj Uddin Ahmed, former pro-VC of the University AFM Yusuf Haidar, BNP leader Khairul Kabir Khokon, Shahid Uddin Chowdhury Anny, Shahidul Islam Babul, Chhatra Dal President Razib Ahsan and General Secretary Akramul Hasan, among others, were present on the program.
