Early elections can bring order in the country: Abul Khayer Bhuiyan

Adviser to BNP Chairperson Abul Khair Bhuiyan has demanded announcement of a roadmap for early elections to hand over power to the elected government for resolving the prevailing problems to bring order in the country.

"The law and order situation has deteriorated extremely, and the prices of daily necessities have gone beyond reach of the common man. Only the representatives elected by the people can handle this situation," he said.

He said this while speaking as the chief guest at a huge public rally organised by Rangpur District BNP at the city's Public Library Ground on Saturday afternoon.

 The district BNP organised the public rally with public demands like stopping delay in announcing a road map for early elections, taking effective measures to prevent extreme deterioration of law and order, bringing prices of daily necessities to a bearable level and confronting the conspiracy of fascism.

Presided over by district BNP convener Md Saiful Islam, its member-secretary Md Anisur Rahman Laku moderated the rally.

BNP's Rangpur divisional joint organizing secretary Md Abdul Khalek, BNP central executive committee member Sahida Rahman Joytsna, Kawnia upazila BNP president Emdadul Haque Bharasa, Mohila Dal central committee member Advocate Rezeka Sultana Fensi, District Jubo Dal president Nazmul Alam Naju, District Swechchasebak Dal convener Al Imran Sujan, District Sramik Dal member secretary Shamim Mia, District Chhatra Dal convener Sharif Newaz Joha, Pirgachha upazila BNP President Aminul Islam Ranga, Badarganj upazila BNP President Professor Paritosh Chakraborty, among others, addressed the rally.

Expressing strong anger over the extreme deterioration of the law and order situation in the country under the interim government, BNP Chairperson's Adviser Abul Khair Bhuiyan said, murders, kidnappings are rampant in the country.

"People do not have minimum security. Extreme unrest is going on in the country.

This government has completely failed," he said, adding that BNP demands early parliamentary elections for this reason.

Abul Khair Bhuiyan said that Hasina did not fall in the July-August movement alone. At the end of a long-standing movement, the anti-discrimination student movement, the general public and the BNP brought about Hasina's downfall.

 "It's architect was BNP acting chairman Tarique Rahman. All political parties admit this. However, now some people are opposing this for their own interests," he said.

He said that fascist Hasina has embezzled the money of the people, killed innocent people, enforced disappearance and created a mirror house.

"Fascist Hasina tried to turn the country into a dependent state by selling the interests, independence and sovereignty of the people of the country. She has left nothing but selling the flag of Bangladesh," he said.

He said, "Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman declared the country's independence, waged the liberation war, and we have to protect our independence and sovereignty."

"After Major Ziaur Rahman declared independence, the Liberation War officially began in the country, which is internationally recognized," he said.

 Earlier, thousands of leaders and activists of BNP and its associate bodies from different upazilas and unions had come to the rally venue chanting various slogans in separate processions since noon surrounding the rally.
