Stating that all opposition parties are now united against the current government, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has said the ongoing movement for the restoration of democracy will be intensified very soon.
The BNP leader came up with the remarks while speaking at a discussion , organised by Revolutionary Workers Party of Bangladesh at the Dhaka Reporters' Unity in the city on Wednesday, marking its 20th founding anniversary.
He also said the Awami League government is now the main enemy of the opposition parties as it has destroyed all institutions of the country.
"We're on a movement. We've already achieved many things… the biggest achievement is that we, the political parties, have different thoughts-some are left-wing, some are right-wing, some are far-left-but we've agreed on the movement together," Fakhrul said.
He said the opposition political parties must defeat the Awami League regime since the country's people are determined on one thing that they no longer want to see it in power.
"We have started that movement... we are still on that movement and it will undoubtedly be intensified very soon," the BNP leader said.
He said his party is talking to all the leftist and rightist parties to make their ongoing movement a success.
"I am very happy to say that in this movement, no political party was in favor of this government, no one did support them... This is a great success of the movement. No one went to the so-called polls (on January 7), except the Jatiya Party," the BNP leader said.
Fakhrul cautioned the opposition parties against taking any rash actions or making detrimental remarks that can harm their unity and create division among them.
