A BNP senior leader said on Saturday his party will come up with a harsher programme at the right time to oust the current government, report agencies.
"They (govt) have no future. The time of their fall will come, Have patience and wait for that day," he said.
BNP standing committee member Moudud Ahmed made the comments while speaking at a discussion organised by Nagorik Odhikar Andolon at the National Press Club in the city, protesting the ongoing extrajudicial killings.
He further said," Tougher programmes will be given in due time as we know it is not possible to oust a fascist and autocratic regime with peaceful progammes."
The BNP leader said the next election must be held under a non-party neutral government as people want it.
"The Constitution is not above people...it can be amended as per people's will. The constitution will not be an obstacle to holding a free, fair election under a non-party administration."
He alleged the government is arresting BNP leaders and activists in the name of anti-narcotic drive.
"The anti-narcotic drive is being carried out to eliminate opposition parties. We would like to say stop these drive right now," the BNP leader said.
He alleged law enforcers are taking money from people threatening them to implicate in drug-related cases.
Moudud said his chairperson Khaleda Zia's is seriously ill as she has been kept in an abandoned, damp jail.
He demanded the government immediately ensure proper treatment of her in a specialised hospital.
The BNP has held a series of peaceful protests across the country since the imprisonment of BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia on February 08.
