Growing repressive acts only to hasten govt fall: BNP

BNP vice chairman Abdullah Al Noman warned Tuesday that the government’s ‘growing repressive acts’ cannot suppress their movement as it will only hasten the Awami League regime’s fall.
“It’s not possible to suppress a movement with arms and repressive acts in a developing country. The more you (govt) will resort to killing, forced disappearance, repression and arrest, the greater pace our movement will gather to ensure your fall,” he said, according to a news agency.
The BNP leader was addressing a human chain programme in front of the Jatiya Press Club arranged by Dhaka district unit Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal  demanding the release of all the arrested BNP leaders and activists, including its standing committee member Gayeshwar Chandra Roy and joint secretary general Amanullah Aman.
Accusing the government of capturing power by force, Noman said all the activities of the current regime are illegal as it is not elected by people’s vote.
Voicing deep concern over the increasing incidents of abduction and forced disappearance, the BNP leader said the country’s people have no security as they are being abducted in broad daylight.
