List of Razakars made with ‘malicious intent’ towards BNP: Fakhrul
BNP yesterday alleged that the list of Razakars was published with a “malicious intent” towards BNP.
The party demanded publishing of the “actual” list of Razakars.
“The list was prepared with political purpose. Our demand is to prepare a real list of Razakars and this can only be done by freedom fighters. The party of Ziaur Rahman can prepare such list,” Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, secretary general of the party, said.
Fakhrul came up with the remark after placing a wreath at the party founder Ziaur Rahman’s grave in the capital.
In response to a query, the BNP leader said, “The list was prepared with malice towards BNP and without proper scrutiny. But it is too early to comment on how accurate it is.”
Paying tribute to freedom fighters and martyrs, Fakhrul said the Liberation War was fought to establish a democratic state and society, but that dream has been shattered.
He alleged that the government was using the state machinery to establish a one-party rule in the country.
Earlier, Fakhrul along with party leaders and activists paid tribute to the martyrs of the Liberation War at the National Martyrs’ Memorial, marking Victory Day.
The BNP leader also alleged that people do not have the right to vote in the country.
“Democracy has completely disappeared from the country,” he said.
Fakhrul vowed to restore democracy by uniting people through the spirit of Liberation War and free BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia from jail.
BNP standing committee members Khandakar Mosharraf Hossain and Abdul Moyeen Khan and party joint secretary general Khairul Kabir Khokon, among others, were present at that time.
