BNP acting Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam yesterday urged the government to step down and make way for holding mid-term elections in the country.
He said the government failed to run the country properly and every sector is on the verge of collapse under its rule.
He was addressing an extended meeting of the party organised by Awliapur Union BNP unit at Awliapur Union Parishad Complex in Thakurgaon's Sadar upazila yesterday morning.
To keep away from attending the next general elections, the opposition leaders and activists including its Chairperson Khaleda Zia are being harassed by implicating them in false cases, he said.
He also said Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman introduced an authoritative form of government in the country killing the notion of democracy and his daughter Sheikh Hasina is following the same path.
He urged all to take part in a greater movement after Eid for removal of the fascist government.
Former lawmaker Akhtaruzzaman Miah, District BNP General Secretary Toimur Rahman, local UP Chairman Jafrullah also addressed the meeting chaired by Awliapur Union BNP President Saidur Rahman.
