Public life turned miserable for misrule, alleges Khaleda

BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia on Sunday alleged that people are passing through a tough time as the current ‘usurper’ government has lost control over everything.  “Democracy is now deported, the rule of law is absent and human rights are being violated at every step. There’s no security of people and their property. Killings, enforced disappearances and assaults on women have become an order of the day. The current usurper government is responsible for it as it has lost control over everything,” she said. Khaleda came up with the remarks at an ifter party arranged by Doctors’ Association of Bangladesh (Dab) at Ladies Club in the city’s Eskaton area. The BNP chief further alleged that the ruling party MPs, their family members and leaders and activists of Awami League and its associate bodies have indulged in criminal activities like killing, repressive acts and, plundering public money and grabbing their property and extortion. “People have got annoyed at the repression and extortion by the ruling party men. The price hike has made their lives miserable, but the government is least bothered about their sufferings. They’re only talking tall talks and resorting to lies. They’re busy realising commission from big projects with greater margins,” she observed. The BNP chief urged people to pray to the Almighty Allah in this holy month of Ramadan so that He saves people from the grasp of this ‘repressive’ regime, according to a news agency.
