BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Tuesday urged the government to step down without any manoeuvring as its existence has already been tainted by widespread corruption, reports UNB.
Speaking at a discussion, he also warned that their party will intensify the movement to ensure the ouster of the government despite all obstacles.
"I don't feel like talking about this government anymore. How much can I say? They've become too thick-skinned that they're least bothered about criticism...their only goal is to plunder public money," the BNP leader said.
The Jatiyatabadi Muktijoddha Dal, the freedom fighters' wing of BNP, organised the programme at Dhaka Reporters' Unity (DRU), commemorating the 43rd death anniversary of BNP founder and late president Ziaur Rahman.
Referring to the exposure of various graft incidents involving ruling party leaders and former officials, he said the government has earned a serious bad reputation for unbridled corruption and plundering.
"They have become completely tainted with corruption. No matter how much they talk, whatever they say, in reality, they have no existence. The evidence of that is visible everywhere. I say their time is over. So, stop manoeuvring so that you can receive a proper burial and funeral, and people can remember you," Fakhrul said.
He also questioned who promoted former Army Chief Aziz Ahmed and ex-IGP Benazir Ahmed to engage in irregularities.
