BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Sunday said their party will continue its struggle until democracy is fully restored in the country.
Speaking at a doa and milad mahfil, he also claimed that there is a deliberate plot to discredit the BNP by falsely linking it to negative activities, UNB reports.
“We want to make it clear that we have been fighting for democracy for the past 16 years, and our struggle will of course continue until democracy is fully restored,” he said.
The senior leader of the party accused the Awami League government of making evil attempts to weaken the BNP by resorting to repression and implicating the party leaders and activists in false cases.
He said many plots were hatched in the past to eliminate Zia’s party, but all have failed because the BNP is like a river with powerful currents, remains resilient and enduring.
Fakhrul hoped that the interim government would clean up the garbage created by the Awami League.
He said Awami League destroyed the election system, judiciary, administration and law enforcement agencies.
The doa mahfil was held in front of the party's Nayapaltan central office in the afternoon, seeking divine blessings for those affected by the flooding, for those who were killed and injured in the recent student-led mass movement, and for the swift recovery of Khaleda Zia, the widow of Ziaur Rahman.
BNP arranged the programme in observance of the party’s 46th founding anniversary.
