BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir alleged that gunning down Jubo Dal activist Shaon Mahmud is equivalent to killing democracy, reports UNB.
Talking to reporters after visiting Shaon’s house in Narayanganj, he also said the government has violated people's democratic and human rights by attacking BNP’s peaceful programmes and firing at party leaders and activists in different parts of the country.
"Shaon's murder was not just the killing of a person. He lost his life for raising his voice in favour of democracy and people’s rights and demands. It’s the killing of an ideal and the killing of democracy and people's dreams," Fakhrul said.
"My brother Shaon was shot dead. His sacrifice will strengthen the democracy of this country and it’ll further accelerate our movement. We’ll continue our movement in a peaceful and democratic manner,” he observed.
