UNB, Dhaka :
Hitting back at the Prime Minister for her remarks that people are not with BNP, the party on Thursday said people have started counting the days of this government’s fall.
“The government, which is counting on the law enforcers’ gun barrels and some partisan media, now stands on the last staircase of its fall. People have started counting the moment of its ouster,” BNP joint secretary general Salauddin Ahmed said in a statement.
Though the government is thinking that it is safe by making the police force ‘Frankenstein’s monster’, he warned that the gun barrels may move back any time.
“The Prime Minister told parliament with arrogance that people are not with BNP and the 20-party’s seven-point demand are to gain its personal interest. Why the Prime Minister is afraid of election if people are with Awami League…hold elections and it will prove people are with whom,” the BNP leader said.
He claimed that each of the seven demands of the 20-party is for strengthening democracy and giving it a strong institutional shape by ensuring neutrality of all the state organisations, including the Election Commission.
Salauddin called upon the government to quit showing respect to people’s demand and shun vindictive politics.
The Prime Minister often says she does not do politics for power, he said adding that if her claim is true why she is desperately trying to protect her ‘usurped’ state power by carrying out mass killings.
