Govt activities anti-people
Says Fakhrul
BNP acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir yesterday said activities of the government are against the people and the country's sovereignty.
“We have to understand why Buet students stopped attending classes. Why problems have surfaced over medical college admission. These are being created to make the country ineffective and void of leadership and talent,” he said.
He called upon the leaders and activists of the 18-party alliance to get united to face the ongoing crisis created by the government.
Fakhrul was addressing a discussion on "Padma bridge, government's corruption, and caretaker government" organised by National People's Party (NPP) at the capital's Jatiya Press Club.
Fakhrul said the government had deceived the people through amending the constitution. On one hand, they retain Islam as state religion and on the other, they keep secularism in the constitution, fooling the devoted Muslims, he added.
Claiming that the government has also created economic and social crisis in the country, he said Grameen Bank gave women economic emancipation and brought life into the rural economy. “Through conspiracy, the government has broken down Grameen Bank and micro-finance system, exposing rural economy to danger.”
Through the 2009 BDR mutiny, in which 57 army officers were killed, the country's existence and its border have been threatened, he said.
Sheikh Shawkat Hossain Nilu, chairman of NPP, presided over the discussion.
