Parliament has been made inactive by silencing the opposition.

Corruption under the government has crossed all records, he said addressing a party workers meeting at Kuakata in Patuakhali Thursday night.

After politicisation of the administration, BCS questions are being leaked now to allow BNP-Jamat men get government jobs, he alleged.

This cannot continue. People want to get rid of this suffocating situation,

The AL general secretary said people are attending AL meetings and programmes in large numbers in different areas of the country. They even wait till late night to listen to AL leaders, which proves they no longer want the alliance rule.

He called upon party workers to build up a movement against the government's "misrule".

AL central organizing secretary and former VP of DUCSU Mahabubur Rahman Manna said prices of all essentials are increasing ahead of the holy Ramadan but the government is unconcerned.

Local AL MP Mahbubur Rahman also addressed the meeting, presided over by Abdul Barek Molla, local UP chairman and president of the Latachapli UP Awami League.

AL leaders and workers from different areas of Barguna and Patuakhali attended the meeting, rounded off with a cultural function.

Jalil and Manna are visiting Barguna and Patuakhali region.
