Branding innocent people as criminals now order of the day: BNP

Criticising the government for what he said its unbridled repressive acts, BNP spokesman Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said on Sunday it has become an order of the day to harass innocent people by branding them as criminals, reports UNB.

"Now it has become an everyday affair under the current regime to make people criminals for the crimes they don't commit," he said in a statement.

Fakhrul, BNP acting secretary general, issued the statement protesting the arrest of Feni district BNP joint general secretary Monwar Hossain Dulal in a 'false' case on Saturday.

He alleged that people's democratic and basic rights, guaranteed by the constitution, are now being restrained with the repressive acts of the Awami League-led government.

 "No one is safe now as there's no rule of law in the country. Filing false cases, making wholesale arrest, killing people, carrying out enforced disappearances and abductions have now become the government' s routine acts," the BNP leader added.
