UNB, Dhaka :
BNP on Wednesday slammed the government for not restoring cable, internet, telephone and fax connections to its chairperson’s Gulshan office and urged local and international rights bodies to focus on the issue.
The party also called upon the UN human rights organisation to take justified steps to this end.
In a statement, BNP joint secretary general Salahuddin Ahmed said, “We’ve repeatedly urged them to restore all communication connections,
including telephone, fax, internet, broadband and cable ones, to the BNP chairperson’s Gulshan office, but this dumb regime didn’t pay heed to it.”
He further said, “We call upon all the national and international human rights organisations, institutions and human rights activists to project the scenario of the Gulshan office before the world after visiting it and, observing and realising the condition prevailing there.”
Terming Awami League a ‘peddler of Liberation War spirit’, the BNP leader alleged that the current ‘illegal’ government has destroyed all the achievements and aspirations of the Independence War.
He said, the history of Awami League is the history of usurping state power through ‘constitutional coup’. “Democracy, human and basic rights, judiciary, parliament and overall all state machineries have become hostage in the hands of this government,” Salahuddin observed.
He said, there is no alternative to ousting this democracy ‘annihilator’ government through a non-stop movement.
The BNP leader alleged that law enforcers are mentally torturing senior BNP leaders, including its acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir and joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, after taking them on remand in false cases one after another.
He denounced the arrest of two former BNP MPs, Ashrafuddin Nizan and Nazimuddin Ahmed, and demanded the government release them immediately.
