Fakhrul calls on all parties to unite to topple govt

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Tuesday called upon all the opposition parties to take to the streets in unison to force the Awami League regime to quit and hold the next polls under a neutral government, reports UNB.
"It doesn't matter whether it's a big party or medium party or minor party….our country and our people are now in danger. It is our responsibility to protect their existence. We all have to come forward and take to streets with that responsibility," he said.
Speaking at a discussion, the BNP leader said all opposition political parties need to join the street movement democratically and peacefully to send out a message to the government to step down.
"We must pronounce our one-point demand loudlyand ask the regime to quit. Enough is enough. Now you (govt) please go and take steps for establishing a people's state, a people's parliament and a people's society," he observed.
Otherwise, he warned that the government will not get any escape route like previous dictators and autocrats.
Ganosamhati Andolan, a partner of the Ganatantra Mancha, arranged the programme at Dhaka Reporters' Unity (DRU) marking its 21st founding anniversary.
Fakhrul congratulated the leaders and workers of Ganosamhati Andolan on its founding anniversary and hoped that the party would be stronger in the days to come to work for the masses and build a social system truly free from exploitation.
