BNP Acting Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir yesterday demanded resignation of the prime minister and her government for failing to run the country.
He said so in reference to President of Jatiya Samajtrantik Dal (JSD) Hasanul Haque Inu's earlier statement asking both the communications minister and finance minister to resign.
Speaking at a protest rally in front of the party's central office in Naya Paltan, Alamgir said the government has "lost its moral right to run the country".
"We want the prime minister and her government to resign so that people can get rid of their miseries", said Alamgir.
The party's Dhaka city unit organised the rally in protest against gross mismanagement of the Roads and Highways Department leading to the loss of hundreds of lives each year.
"Instead of acknowledging and accepting its failure, the government is busy blaming BNP for all its problems," said Alamgir, also the convenor of the rally.
BNP Vice Chairman Abdullah Al Noman, Jubo Dal President Moazzem Hossain Alal, Khairul Kabir Khokan spoke, among others.
