“The ruling Awami League men are responsible for increasing prices of all products,” BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said this at a press briefing at the partys’ Nayapaltan office.
The BNP leader claimed that the prices of many daily essential products have even tripled. Businessmen of the ruling party made huge profits by creating artificial crisis of onion, he alleged.
Mirza Fakhrul said, the BNP has held various programmes in the past protesting the price hike of essentials and also electricity. It will do so in the future as well.
Since all the people of the country are affected by the increase in the prices of all the products including electricity, not only the BNP, but people of all strata should come forward and protest, he said.
An accountable government, he said, is urgently needed to keep all essentials at a standard level in general people’s purchasing capacity.
He also reiterated the party’s demand to hold a fresh national election soon.
“In order to safeguard independence, sovereignty and democratic system of the country, the government must be compelled to hold a free and fair election under a neutral government, after canceling the so-called election,” he said.
The BNP leader said, “Otherwise, the future life of the nation will become more unbearable and distressing.”
The Party’s Standing Committee Members Dr. Abdul Moeen Khan, Goyeswar Chandra Roy and Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury, and Publicity Secretary Shahiduddin Chowdhury Annie, among others, were present.
