Withdraw cases against Fakhrul or face tougher movement: BNP
Dhaka, Apr 30 (UNB) - Opposition BNP on Monday asked the government to immediately withdraw the cases filed against its acting secretary general and other leaders or face harsher street agitations.
BNP front-ranking leader Barrister Moudud Ahmed came up with the threat at a press conference at the party chairperson’s Gulshan office in the afternoon.
He said the government filed two cases with Shahbagh and Tejgaon police stations against the party’s 45 leaders and workers, including acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, over two incidents as it wants to annihilate the opposition.
Terming ‘baseless and politically motivated’ the cases, Moudud said the party’s active leaders have been implicated in the cases.
“Police even raided the house of Fakhrul,” BNP standing committee member Moudud said adding that the government’s such behavior manifests its meanness and fascist character.
He alleged that the two cases were filed to divert the current movement against the ‘enforced disappearance’ of M Ilias Ali, BNP organising secretary who has been missing since April 17 midnight from capital.
Moudud said the BNP-led 18 party alliance will not retreat from the Ilias issue as it is a matter of the security of all.
Demanding withdrawal of the two cases, he said they would go to court as well as wage a vigorous movement if the cases are not withdrawn. “The ongoing movement cannot be weakened by filing cases,” he said adding that the fall of the government is now a matter of time.
