BNP front ranking leader Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain has lamented that the country's democracy has been trampled under the boot of the police.
It has been exposed through recent 'brutal' attack on the opposition chief whip, he said.
Mosharraf made the remarks while addressing a discussion titled 'State Terrorism During Hartal, Falsehood and Future of Democracy' organised by Bangladesh Jatiyatabadi Samajik and Sangskritik Jote at the National Press Club Saturday.
Jote president Hasanuddin Sarker presided over the discussion.
Mosharraf said the attack on the opposition chief whip, Zainul Abdin Farroque, was not only an attack on him, but also attack on all members of parliament.
The way Farroque was hit on his chest the democracy has been trampled under the boot of the police, he added.
He said the Awami League-led government was now using the police like Rakkhi Bahini, which was formed by post-independence AL government.
