BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Saturday said there is no alternative to removing the ‘illegitimate’ Awami League government for holding the next polls in a free, fair and acceptable manner, reports UNB.
“We would like to say that we don’t accept the current illegal government. This is not a legitimate government as per the constitution.”
Fakhrul came up with the observation at a mammoth youth rally.
BNP’s three associate bodies--Jatiyatabadi Jubo Dal, Swechchasebak Dal and Chhatra Dal—arranged the rally at Bangabandhu Udyan popularly known as Bell's Park to drum up youth’s support for the opposition’s 10-point demand, including holding the next election under a non-party neutral government.
He said their party wants a credible national election under an impartial government, not under Sheikh Hasina's regime.
“There’s no other option, but to oust Sheikh Hasina's government for holding a free and fair election.”
The senior leader of the party also urged the government to quit and dissolve parliament by handing over power to a non-party government to hold a fair election under a new Election Commission as per people’s hopes and aspirations.
Mirza Fakhrul said a strong movement is necessary to restore democracy and the country’s independence.
He called upon the youths to come forward to make the opposition’s ongoing movement a success.
Thousands of leaders and activists of the three organisations from Barishal, Bhola, Patuakhali, Barguna and Pirojpur joined the rally with huge enthusiasm.
