18cr people of Bangladesh do not want AL: Mirza Fakhrul

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has said that 18 crore people of Bangladesh do not want to see Awami League (AL) as they established one-party state BAKSAL.

The BNP secretary general made the comment while addressing a mammoth youth rally in Chattogram city on Saturday.

“Shaheed Ziaur Rahman at first had carried meaningful reforms, restored freedom of the press, adopted suitable policy that helped flourish the garment sector which is now backbone of country’s economy”, he said.

Mirza Fakhrul said, Begum Khaleda Zia had introduced the caretaker system, adopted time-befitting policy for women empowerment and education. Today, ironically everybody forgot everything. 

He said, “Our youth want business, want jobs. They want peace in educational institutions. They want a democratic country, where everyone can speak freely. We want to establish that democracy.” 

Fakhrul Islam said, one of the message of today's youth rally is- “Young people, wake up again, everyone must foil the conspiracy and establish their rights.”

BNP secretary general said, “Ziaur Rahman fought for a democratic country, Khaleda Zia worked for democracy. Tarique Rahman wants to make Bangladesh a modern country.”

Presided over by central President of Swechchhasebak Dal S M Jinali, the rally was conducted jointly by general secretary of Swechchhasebak Dal Rajib Ahsan and general secretary of JCD Nasir Uddin Nasir.
