BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Tuesday alleged that the Awami League gov-ernment is showing its arrogance after usurping power through the last month’s ‘dummy’ election.
“They (govt) are now showing their arrogance after the farcical dummy election held on January 7 which was turned down by the country’s people. They’re also trying to flaunt the power they’ve usurped to people,” he said.
He came up with the remarks before distributing BNP’s leaflets in the city’s Fakirapool area as part of the party’s fresh programme demanding the cancellation of the 12th parliamentary polls and a fresh elec-tion under a non-partisan government.
“We all must take to the streets together in the movement to demand the cancellation of the dummy election…We have started the leaflet distribution programme with that goal,” he said.
BNP on Sunday announced a six-day fresh programme, including mass contact and leaflet distribution, across the country beginning Tuesday.
