BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Saturday called upon public servants and the state institutions to discharge their duties as per the Constitution.
Speaking at a rally of professionals, he also said the government’s all efforts to cling power will go in vain as the country's people and all opposition political parties are now united to oust it, reports UNB.
Bangladesh Sammilita Peshajibi Parishad arranged the rally in front of the Jatiya Press Club in protest against the ‘prescribed’ verdict of a lower court against BNP acting chairman Tarique Rahman and his wife Dr Zubaida Rahman in a graft case.
Fakhrul said Awami League has been in power by force by destroying the entire election system and holding two completely ridiculous consecutive national elections in 2014 and 2018.
“They’re again dreaming that they will go to power by holding the polls in the same way. When you open the newspaper every day you’ll see news on transfers of DCs, SPs, new postings, and the promotions of thousands of people in the administration. They’re doing these as they’re thinking to cross the election hurdle again by regulating the administration as before. This won’t happen again,” he asserted.
The senior leader of the party said their party together with other opposition parties has been in a movement to restore the voting rights and freedom of people.
He also urged the professionals to involve with the opposition’s ongoing movement for the restoration of democracy and people’s voting and other lost rights.
