AL govt’s crimes are destroying democracy, snatching voting rights: Fakhrul to PM

Responding to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s Wednesday’s remarks that what crimes she had committed that the Awami League government would have to be ousted from power,’ BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Thursday mentioned about ‘three crimes committed by the Awami League government.’

“Their crimes are destroying the democracy, snatching the voting right of people, and turning the country into a heaven of corruption,” Fakhrul said, while talking to reporters after paying respect to the grave of BNP founder Ziaur Rahman at Chandrima Udyan along with the leaders of the partial committee of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD).

Speaking virtually at the opening of a weeklong programme marking the Golden Jubilee founding anniversary of the Bangladesh Krishak League, an associate body of the party, on Wednesday (April 20, 2022), Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina asked, “What is their motive to oust the government?” “It is just to deprive the people of all the facilities that are being given by the government,” she said.

“Mr Manna, Dr Kamal Hossain, Communist Party, left-leaning parties are now tagged with BNP-Jamaat alliance for forging movement to oust the Awami League government,” she alleged.
