Govt pushing country into deeper crisis: Khaleda
Monday, 10 February 2014
BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia alleged that the government is pushing the country’s political situation towards a deeper crisis through its increased repressive acts.
“Retaining power through a farcical election, this illegal government keeps on arresting the leaders and activists of the opposition alliance alongside killing and enforced disappearances.
“We think the government is deliberately creating an anarchic situation in its evil-effort to hang onto power,” the BNP chief alleged in a statement Monday protesting the detention of Abdul Latif Nezami, chairman of Islami Oikya Jote, a component of the BNP-led 19-party alliance.
Police had picked Nezami up from his city residence around 9:30am, but released him around 10:30am after keeping him detained in Wari Police Station for an hour, according to a news agency.
