Govt goes for one-party rule: BNP

BNP said on Friday the ruling party is trying to establish the one-party Baksal rule in the name of democracy and warned that people are committed to protecting democracy through a strong movement foiling all conspiracies by Awami League, reports UNB.

In a statement, BNP joint secretary general Salahuddin Ahmed said, "Awami League never believes in democracy. Instead, it repeatedly annihilated democracy. The party is now trying to establish one-party Baksal (rule) undercover of democracy."

He further said, "The democracy-loving people in the country always ditched one-party dictatorship. They're now committed to freeing democracy from the shackle through a bloody struggle thwarting all the plots of the ruling party."

Referring to media reports that the government is taking a move to give law enforcers indemnity for the killing opposition leaders and activists to suppress the ongoing movement, the BNP leader reminded the government that no law is the last law. "More laws will be enacted in the future."

He asked the government and its subservient some members of the law enforcement agencies to think of the consequences of the mass killer regimes and their cohorts in the world who were brought to justice under the trial of international courts.

"People have kept all the records of your cruel acts," he added
