Fakhrul calls on countrymen to join BNP's movement
National unity is crucial as the nation is now in danger, he said
BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir called on the countrymen to actively participate in the party's anti-government movement aimed at establishing a democratic society.
"This is not the time to stay at home," he said while addressing a gathering of the Dhaka Journalist Union at the National Press Club on Tuesday.
"The state we once knew has transformed into a factory of torture and oppression. The foundational pillars of our state have crumbled, and even our judges have lost their independence," Fakhrul said with deep concern.
He went on to express his distress at the current state of the country, describing it as shrouded in darkness.
"If we do not stand together and fight, I fear we may not find a way out of this dire situation," he added.
Fakhrul also drew attention to the alleged harassment faced by leaders and activists of the BNP through legal cases.
He underscored the urgency of the situation by emphasising, "Today, our nation is being torn apart, and it is in grave danger. National unity is the need of the hour. We must be united to rescue our country from misrule."
"The state is no longer a state. The state has become a factory of torture and oppression. The important pillars of the state are destroyed. Judges themselves have ended their independence," he added.
