BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Monday alleged that the US visa policy for Bangladesh is the outcome of Awami League’s misrule.
Speaking at a seminar, he also said that democratic countries are creating various pressures on the current regime to restore democracy as it has destroyed all democratic institutions, reports UNB.
Fakhrul said, “The USA has imposed sanctions and announced visa policy. It’s a matter of shame for us, not a matter of joy. A country has imposed (visa) restriction on an independent and sovereign country, because of this Awami League government’s misrule, mischievous activities and plundering.”
The Awami League regime has destroyed all the democratic systems, and institutions, including the judiciary, to cling to power by any means, he alleged.
“They've (govt) politicised the parliament and the administration, dashing the aspirations of the people of Bangladesh for a democratic state and a democratic society. So, the democratic world is not seeing any other measures rather than imposing restrictions on Bangladesh for the restoration of democracy as the current regime has taken the country to such a bad situation,” he observed.
The senior leader of the party said they together with people and all democratic forces and parties must carry out the movement to restore democracy, give it an institutional shape and build a democratic free society.
