Participating in a human chain program in the capital on Sunday morning, he said: “This Awami League government does not believe in democracy. Just to fool the people, they are going to establish a one-party system disguised as democracy … in fact, a one-man government system.

“We have said a lot, we have made many human chains, processions, strikes. So far we have not been able to move the tone of this government. Because they have become strong in a special power. “

Mirza Fakhrul warned the government: “A lot has happened. It can’t go on like this anymore. We want to make it clear: resign immediately, immediately read the language in the eyes of the people, and arrange for elections under neutral government. Otherwise, a wave of people will be created, you will all be swept away by that wave.

“I also want to tell people, they will not be silent. If we don’t protest today, if we don’t stand up, then the democracy we fought for in 1971 has been taken from us, the democracy we fought for in 1990, the democracy that they took from us. So we all have to stand up today, regain rights, regain our democracy. “

The BNP general secretary said: “To suppress dissent, today it is journalists, politicians and ordinary people who write dissident speeches, speak on social media, then are arrested, prosecuted. Mr. has been arrested. He was arrested and held without bail on a false charge and misinterpreting the law.

“It is not an issue, many journalists are being tortured, oppressed, journalists are being killed, there is no justice for them. Today’s journalists are afraid to write because they do not dare to write because of the laws that have been enacted. A reign of terror has been created throughout the country – Rain of Terror. “

Fakhrul also demanded the immediate release of Ruhul Amin Gazi, the editor of the daily Sangram, Abul Asad, and the dropping of false charges against journalists.

Mirza Fakhrul said: “The Election Commission and the government are jointly using the elections as a tool to stay in power. They are playing the selection of elections. They have created panic in the name of the elections.

“I am giving a test. In the by-elections that were held in Dhaka-17 Uttara, one of our party leaders, Mostafa, who was the commissioner candidate, was attacked and vandalized by terrorists from the Chhatra League-Juba League last night. Yesterday, our candidate Reza Saheb (Selim Reza) was detained at his home all day in the by-elections of the Sirajganj-1 constituency ”.

The human chain was formed in protest at the arrest of Ruhul Amin Gazi, the interim convenor of the organization, at the initiative of the Joint Professional Council.

Chaired by journalist Shawkat Mahmud and led by AZM member Zahid Hossain, Chharakar Abu Saleh, Secretary General of the Federal Union of Journalists M Abdullah, Dhaka Union of Journalists Quader Gani Chowdhury, Shahidul Islam, Professor Abdul Karim, Shamimur Rahman of the Agricultural Association, Shamimur Rahman.
