As the Awami government does not believe in democracy, they want to silence us by repressing all opposition opinions, including the BNP. We want to say clearly that BNP cannot be kept away from the movement to establish people’s rights through arrests, cases, torture and repression. We call on the people in charge of the administration to play their role on behalf of the country and the people.
