BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Sunday apprehended that the way the political situation in the country is evolving could lead to a serious confrontation on the streets, unless the government takes responsibility to resolve all the disputes regarding the election, reports UNB.
“I can see a confrontational situation ahead. The responsibility lies with the government to resolve all the disputes,” he said.
The BNP leader came up with the comments in a meeting to exchange views with members of the Overseas Correspondents Association Bangladesh (Ocab), a platform of Dhaka-based journalists working for foreign media outlets.
Fakhrul reiterated the BNP’s stance that there is no way they will join the next election if it is held under a political government.
He accused the government of harassing opposition BNP leaders and activists and barring them from joining the anti-government rallies.
The BNP leader, who was elected from the Bogura-6 constituency in the 2018 election but famously refused to take oath as an MP said obstacles were being created by the intelligence agencies and administration to foil the opposition rallies.
