Govt more upset as discontent grows: BNP

Taking a dig at the government for its ‘repressive’ acts, BNP on Friday alleged that the regime has turned even more desperate as people have started raising their voice against its misrule. In a statement, BNP acting Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, said, ‘When the country’s people have started becoming vocal against the current regime’s autocratic and brutal repressive acts, it has got more desperate and unnerved.’ Mirza Alamgir alleged that the government is trying to create panic among people by filing ‘false’ cases against BNP men, brutally repressing them after placing them on remand and resorting to killings, abductions and enforced disappearances. Claiming that the government has become isolated from people, the BNP spokesperson said the government is resorting to repressive acts so that opposition leaders and activists cannot put up any strong resistance against its despotic and anti-people activities. He warned the government that it will not be able to escape its fall with these repressive acts, according to a news agency.
