Democracy restoration movement to be strengthened very soon: Fakhrul

All opposition parties are now united against the current government and the ongoing movement for the restoration of democracy will be intensified very soon.

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said this while addressing a discussion arranged by Revolutionary Workers Party of Bangladesh marking its 20th founding anniversary at Dhaka Reporters’ Unity (DRU) auditorium on Wednesday (June 12).

Speaking at the discussion, he said the Awami League government is now the main enemy of the opposition parties as it has destroyed all institutions of the country.

“We’re on a movement. We’ve already achieved many things… the biggest achievement is that we, the political parties, have different thoughts—some are left-wing, some are right-wing, some are far-left—but we’ve agreed on the movement together,” Fakhrul said.

He said the opposition political parties must defeat the Awami League regime since the country’s people are determined on one thing: that they no longer want to see it in power.

"We have started that movement... we are still on that movement and it will undoubtedly be intensified very soon,” the BNP leader said.

He said their party is talking to all the leftist and rightist parties to make their ongoing movement a success.
