UNB, Dhaka :
BNP senior leader Abdullah Al Noman on Thursday said people no longer seek trial for any criminal incident in the country as they have lost faith in the current government.
“The entire nation is now under immense repression. We’ve seen the reactions of
 the victims’ relatives, including Dipan’s father and Avijit’s wife, and even common people to the recent murders – that they don’t seek trial of the incidents. It has demonstrated people’s complete no-confidence in the government,” he said.
Speaking at a discussion, he said people cannot keep their confidence in the government as now “the protectors have turned predators.”
Swadhinata Forum, a pro-BNP-platform, arranged the programme at the Jatiya Press Club on the occasion of the National Revolution and Solidarity Day to be observed on Saturday.
Noman said, people are fed up with the current regime for its repressive acts and misrule. Voicing deep concern over the growing incidents of attacks on bloggers, publishers and police, he said not police action, but the unity of social forces can help get rid of the current situation.
The BNP leader urged the government to restore democracy to garner a national unity to overcome the crisis.
Speaking at the programme, Dhaka University ex-VC Prof Emajuddin Ahmed said a serious sense of uncertainty has grasped the nation, that any bad incident can happen any time.
“All the country’s institutions, including educational and social ones, have become divided into two groups,” he observed. Emajuddin said a strong unity among the entire nation is now crucial to overcome the current crisis.
