Accusing the government of committing crimes against humanity, BNP acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir asked Monday his party's leaders and activists to get ready for staging a mass upsurge to force the regime to stop killing, forced disappearance and other repressive acts, reports UNB.
"The government is regularly committing crimes against humanity by indulging in killing, forced disappearance and repression across the country," he said.
Addressing a rally, he also told his party men, "There's no alternative to waging a strong movement. Prepare for staging a mass upsurge to force the government to stop killing, forced disappearance, repression and filing of false cases."
The Dhaka city unit BNP organised the rally on the National Press Club premises protesting the "government's growing repressive acts like killing of opposition leaders and activists, their forced disappearances, filing of false cases against them" and indictment of Khaleda Zia and Tarique Rahman.
Mr Fakhrul said the government is hatching a plot to illegally hang onto power by resorting to repressive acts.
He said people are being killed and picked one after another in a broad daylight. "Five people have been made disappeared together in Narayanganj. But the law enforcers cannot do any thing in this regard."
No one is now safe in the country, the BNP leader said, adding that the government is using the law enforcers as its party cadres. So, they are now busy suppressing the opposition instead of ensuring security of the people.
