BNP sees a constitutional crisis

Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir
The opposition has accused the government of creating a 'constitutional crisis' in the country.
BNP's acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said on Thursday the government has done so mainly by 'making the judiciary partisan'.

Addressing a programme at the party's Naya Paltan head office, he said, "No one seems to know whether we are following the 1972 constitution or the BKSAL rule, which was legalised through the Fourth Amendment [to the constitution]."

Fakhrul made the comments at the programme where a number of leaders and activists from other parties joined BNP.

He said, "The government was pushing the economy towards a critical point. This programme itself proves how helpless the ruling coterie has become."

Over 500 activists of Basail Upazila in Tangail led by former Sakhipur municipal mayor Sanwar Hossain Sazib, also Krishak Sramik Janata League leader, former Awami League general secretary Abdul Gafur and former municipal councillor Asaduzzaman Milton joined the BNP.

Citing people's suffering over the inflation, Fakhrul said, "People are spending their days in the dark. The prices of basic commodities have gone out of reach of the general people. Yet the government does not seem to care."

The failure of the government has ruined everything including the administration and economy, he alleged.

BNP chairperson's advisor and Tangail BNP unit president Ahmed Azam Khan presided over the programme while joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, and other local leaders from Tangail also attended the programme.
