PBC NEWS DESK: BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Wednesday said the days of current Awami League government are numbered as people will no longer let it stage any more drama in the name of election.”The days of this government are really numbered…They must go this time,” he told a rally in front of BNP’s Nayapaltan central office, reports UNB.

The BNP leader also said those who destroyed democracy, killed opposition leaders and activists and repressed them in many ways in the democratic movement must quit power to repay that debt.

He alleged that the current government has snatched people’s all rights in a planned way by establishing a one-party Baksal rule in disguise. “So, they want to stage a drama and mockery further in the name of an election…that election won’t be held in this country anymore as people are now ready to get back their voting rights.”

Fakhrul said the current ‘unelected’ government has no relation with the people and their main target is to plunder public money as they consider Bangladesh as their paternal property and the country’s people as their subjects.

As part of the ongoing simultaneous movement against the current government, BNP arranged the rally.

Thousands of leaders and activists of the party and its associated bodies joined the parogramme.The organisers said the programme was meant for registering a protest against the introduction of one-party Baksal rule by the Awami League on January 25, 1975, the rise in the prices of power and gas and mounting pressure on the government to accept their 10-point demand, including holding the next polls under a non-party caretaker government.

Fakhrul said Awami will not quit power voluntarily unless they are ousted through a strong movement. “We’re uniting people and the political parties to remove this regime from power.”

The BNP leader also said their ongoing movement will continue as long as the Awami League does not step down and as long as the arrested BNP leaders are not released from jail.
