BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Sunday said the future of the current Awami League government appears dim as the country’s crisis has deepened further after the 12th parliamentary election.
Speaking at a press conference, he also accused the government of using the judiciary as a tool to im-plement its depoliticization agenda by arbitrarily convicting and imprisoning opposition leaders and ac-tivists in a bid to consolidate power.
“I would like to say that they (govt) have a false belief that it has overcome the crisis. But I say the crisis has only deepened further in the aftermath of the last (national) election. If you still don’t realize this reality and make efforts to address the crisis, then your future is rather bleak.”
The press conference was held at the BNP Chairperson’s Gulshan office to inform journalists about the decisions made during a virtual meeting of the party’s Standing Committee on May 8.
Fakhrul said their standing committee meeting strongly denounced the process of unilaterally trying and sentencing leaders and activists of the party and its associate bodies.
