Pro-BNP FFs stage six-hour hunger strike at Nayapaltan

A group of freedom fighters staged a six-hour hunger strike on Monday in the capital to press home the opposition's one-point demand, reports UNB.
The programme is also meant for mounting pressure on the government to unconditionally release BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia.
Jatiyatabdai Muktijoddha Dal organised the programme in front of BNP's Nayapaltan central office.
BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi inaugurated the programme at 11 am with the participation of around 150 freedom fighters.
Rizvi said that the brave freedom fighters who fought for the liberation of the motherland in their youth have now started a daylong hunger strike for the release of Khaleda Za and the fall of the government extending their support to the one-point movement.
Though the current government used to talk about the Liberation War, he said it has buried democracy, obliterated freedom of expression and suppressed the voices of people.
"Democracy was the main spirit of the Liberation War. Pakistanis did not want to give us rights. To establish that right and democracy, we waged the Liberation War," the BNP leader Fakhrul said.
