Politicians from all sides to end up in jail
BNP Standing Committee Member Goyeshwar Chandra Roy yesterday said with the government taking the country towards a “wrong direction”, politicians from all sides would end up in jails in the near future.
“What the prime minister is doing now and how Inu (the information minister) is instigating her, I think there will be a grand get-together in jail. Perhaps we will go first and clean the prison to receive them (ruling party leaders) later,” he said.
“But we all have to go,” he told a discussion organised by “Democratic Movement” in the capital's Jatiya Press Club in memory of Ekushey Padak winner, eminent journalist and columnist Sadeq Khan who died of old age complications on May 16.
Goyeshwar urged BNP leaders and activists to unite vowing to restore democracy through any sacrifice necessary.
He criticised a section of the media, claiming they published “one-sided” news regarding the arrest of journalist Shafik Rehman and BNP leader Aslam Chowdhury.
“The media now can not write about the government's misdeeds. Action is taken if any media writes anything against it. So, media now find only the faults of BNP as they do not have any courage to find that of the government,” he said.
Gonoshasthaya Kendra founder Dr Zafrullah Chowdhury, journalist Mahfuz Ullah, Sadek Khan's younger sister and BNP Vice Chairman Selima Rahman and BNP chairperson's adviser Shamsuzzaman Dudu also spoke.
