BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has said that the government is in contradiction to democracy, freedom of expression, freedom of the press, human rights but in the face of the government. He said this at a discussion meeting in the National Press Club on Thursday as the chief guest. He said that before the next election, the Prime Minister will have to resign, the parliament will be dissolved. Then, under the non-partisan neutral government, the army will be deployed and the national election will be held. At the same time Begum Khaleda Zia, the BNP chairperson's prisoner, will be released immediately. The Bangladesh Federal Union of Journalists (a section) and the Dhaka Union of Journalists (a part) organized this meeting on the occasion of 'World Free Media Day'.
In the speech of chief guest, Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said, the government is saying that the free media is in the mouth However, they are imposing different types of censorship. The government will determine which news will be sent to the newspapers and no news can be made. Instructions are being given from the Prime Minister's Office.
He said that the nation is being cheated and doubled with double standards. The government speaks of democracy in the face but in reality it is a terrific fascist in the work. One more look inside. It's better to say the face. In fact, in the last ten years, fear created society. The society that fears to speak Fear to write We have to end this double standard.
He said, for a news I asked the people of a newspaper how it got it. They said we have nothing to do. We have been forced. This is our free media. To get rid of the present situation, the national unity of those who are in favor of democracy will have to be created. We have to work in front of an issue. That is to free democracy. Our clear statement should be broken by the parliament before the election.
BNP secretary general said, free media is shielding the protection of democracy. If it is not free then there is no democracy. Journalist brothers had to fight from the Pakistan period. But the issue of our independence That situation is not today. We fought for democracy that we could think differently. But writing here is to be lost. The journalists have to leave the country. Actually when fascism is established in the country. Then there was fear everywhere.
In response to the comments made by the Prime Minister at a press conference yesterday, Fakhrul said that there was no such spine that formed the Election Commission. Those who do not accept any rule. The candidate of Khulna was forced to withdraw from the campaign. We told the Election Commission by sending the representative. When they say on the phone they say everything is fine. But who killed the SP whip. It is known to all. We told the first day that the GSPP will be removed from the SP. Because he is the identified Awami League. He arrested 45 Jamaat leaders on the first day.
What's the selection here? This way, it will not be. But we want to tell the person to remove? You can do the void. But people will no longer accept this kind of election. The people of the country will not be allowed to remain silent as of January 5, 2014.
BNP secretary general said that this Awami League is representing 1/11. They took you to jail. How much did it. They did not do anything. Rather, declare them all things by declaring them dead. Khaleda Zia was imprisoned for her false charges. The banks have been plundered by plundering. All the money was trafficked abroad. But the finance minister said - The banking sector is still not so bad. If you take away the bank bank then say bad?
Presided over by BFUJ President Ruhul Amin Gazi, BFUG Secretary General M Abdullah, former President Shawkat Mahmud, DUJ President Kader Goni Chowdhury, General Secretary Shahidul Islam, Joint General Secretary of the National Press Club Elias Khan also spoke on the occasion.
